Giorgio Vasari, Leonardo's first biographer, said that the artist used to sketch many designs for architecture. In fact, in the so-called letter of employment written to Ludovico il Moro in 1482, Leonardo presented himself as a military engineer, able to satisfy the demands of the Duke of Milan in peace and in war, declaring that he can give perfect satisfaction and to the equal of any other in architecture and the composition of buildings public and private. And then he speaks of his ability in hydraulic engineering for conducting water from one level to another. Leonardo studied in depth several ancient texts but also the treatises of his own time: in particular the treatise of military and civil architecture by the Sienese engineer and architect Francesco di Giorgio Martini, a text that contains projects for fortifications with bastions, able to offer resistance to the artillery fire. This could explain Leonardo's fascination with fortifications, his involvement in the project to realize the tiburio for the Milan cathedral. He made a great many architectural projects for gardens and elegant buildings, testing out innovative solutions, such as the internal stairs. This allows us to better understand his excellent competence in architecture and why he attempted to plan the ideal city, conceived as being organized on two different levels, one for pedestrians and the other suitable for vehicle transportation. He also projected also religious buildings, studying different solutions for the centralized plan based on complex systems of architectural symmetries. Foreword by Carlo Pedretti. English edition.

L'amore di Leonardo per la Natura è testimoniato dal Vasari che nelle Vite racconta che "E non avendo egli, si può dir, nulla, e poco lavorando, del continuo tenne servitori e cavalli, de' quali si dilettò molto, e particularmente di tutti gl'altri animali, i quali con grandissimo amore e pacienza governava. E mostrollo ché spesso passando dai luoghi dove si vendevano uccelli, di sua mano cavandoli di gabbia e pagatogli a chi li vendeva il prezzo che n'era chiesto, li lasciava in aria a volo, restituendoli la perduta libertà". Per Leonardo l'osservazione della Natura, intendendo per natura tutto ciò che lo circondava e lo affascinava, non era fine a se stessa: per tutta la vita cercò infatti di indagare, di capire, di comprendere la natura e le sue leggi, come ci dimostrano i suoi disegni. La natura infatti poteva essere capita soltanto in un solo modo: osservandola. La pittura, definita nel Trattato "vera figliuola della natura", è per Leonardo un importante strumento di conoscenza proprio per la sua peculiarità di essere fondata sull'operazione sensibile del vedere. La Natura è copiosamente osservata, studiata e riprodotta in tutte le sue forme. Infatti non c'è un elemento grande e piccolo che non impegni Leonardo con la stessa intensità e che venga osservato, capito e disegnato: il mistero è ovunque in un ramo ricoperto di foglie, nello studio di accrescimento dei suoi frutti, in un sorriso femminile, nel volo di un uccello, nel corpo dell'uomo, nel palpito di un cuore, nel complicato intreccio dei capelli delle dame rinascimentali, nei tramonti, nella meravigliosa varietà dei fiori, negli animali che giocano tra loro e si azzuffano, segni del fluire ininterrotto del segreto della vita. Presentaz.di Carlo Pedretti.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. One of the most exciting challenges faced by Leonardo was to create robots made to resemble human or animal, or rather automatic self-operating devices. The technological excellence achieved during the 15th century, and the impetus in Mechanics and Engineering, developed in Leonardo a growing interest in humanoid automata and in self-operating machines. Leonardos automata are the subjects of the research of this book that collects the results presented by scholars that have studied Leonardo from different perspectives. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

As is well known, Leonardo defines painting as the "daughter of nature".His observation of nature, his fascination with every living thing that surrounded him was the main source of his drawings. His entire life was dedicated to investigating and trying to understand the laws of nature.Nature is observed, studied and depicted in all its forms. In fact, Leonardo constantly aims at reproducing every element of nature: animals, flowers, fruits, birds and also, a female smile, the throbbing of the hearth or - following a series of examples - the intricate plait of Renaissance hairdos.All these elements have in common the uninterrupted flow of the secret of life.

Leonardo's anatomical studies actually set themselves as an ideal meeting point between artistic and scientific interests because the study of the functioning of the body was essential for artistic practice in order to achieve the correct representation of the human figure. For Leonardo, the artistic practice was determined by an inexhaustible desire for knowledge that led him to study the human body through the Vitruvian proportions and through dissection, carried out by the artist with special care over the middle years of the first decade of the sixteenth century.Drawing becomes essential to understand and reproduce the structure of the male and female body, a "wonderful machine" perfectly thought out.The organs are devices and the body is a machine: Man then becomes a further testing ground for mechanical science.TECNICHAL CHARACTERISTICS: Libro.

Brossura. Condizione: new. Ancona, Mole Vanvitelliana, 15 ottobre 2005 - 8 gennaio 2006.A cura di Pedretti C.Testo Italiano e Inglese.Foligno, 2005; br., pp. 160, ill. col., cm 24x28. The monumental Mole Vanvitelliana in the harbor of the Adriatic City of Ancona is the spectacular setting for a most original Leonardo exhibition.For the first time Leonardo's presence at Urbino and Pesaro as an architect and general engineer in the service of Cesare Borgia in 1502, is presented in a historical and cultural context that includes every aspect of Leonardo's art, science and technology, and of his philosophical outlook as well, at a time when he had to cope with most demanding tasks, without ever loosing sight of the opportunity of drawing information and inspiration from local sources and traditions, and this by roaming a countryside of breath-taking beauty all the way down to the Sibillini Mountains at the far South, the mysterious reign of the sorceress Alcina, the legendary Sibyl. This is the focal point of the medieval novel Guerin Meschino, a book Leonardo owned together with L'Acerba by Cecco d'Ascoli, a contemporary of Dante, another of his literary and philosophical sources. Paintings and drawings by Leonardo and his school from private and public collections, including the third version of the Virgin of the Rocks and a Bare-breasted Magdalene of stunning beauty and intriguing iconography, as well as a manuscript copy of his Book on painting in the Leopardi Library at Recanati, are also shown to fully document his presence in the Region. Finally, an exceptional presence in this exhibition is the Codex on the Flight of Birds compiled exactly five centuries ago, in 1505, and conceptually related to the Sanctuary of the Holy House at Loreto, whose Madonna is the patron of the aviators. The rarely seen materials as presented in a fully illustrated catalogue are also discussed in detail by seven scholars of international repute coordinated by the editor. Libro.
