SECONDARY SOURCES:
From this site, we learned when this painting was completed and that it was originally an altarpiece in Florence, Italy. Also, we learned that it is currently located in the Galleria delgi Uffizi. This source helped us gather information on some of Leonardo's paintings.
This source explains the early history of the painting, The Lady With an Ermine. Also, it taught us about the meaning of the painting and who the woman in it was. This source also gave us the painting "Lady with an Ermine."
This source helped us gather information on da Vinci's contributions to the field of science. For instance, he understood the importance of intense scientific observation. He even “anticipated many discoveries of modern times,” and had his scientific findings been published, they would have changed the science of the 16th century.
This source states that Leonardo had many scientific recordings that he kept in his journal. Since the 1500’s, approx. 4000 pages are still intact. Apparently, Da Vinci had planned to publish his findings but never followed through. This source aided us in gathering information about Leonardo's scientific findings as well.
This source considers da Vinci as “one of the greatest painters of all time and perhaps the most diversely talented person ever to have lived.” He painted arguably the most famous painting in the world, the Mona Lisa, and another famous painting called the Last Supper. He was also an acclaimed inventor and scientist. He was even given permission to dissect human corpses for the sake of science. This source helped a lot with the gathering of information for nearly all pages of the entire site.
This source infers that Da Vinci merged his scientific findings with his art to create masterpieces which displayed natural movement and structure of humans, and tried to make them as three dimensional as possible. He was one of very few artists who had mastered the artistic concept of the vanishing point. This source helped us to gather information about da Vinci's contributions to art.
Leonardo’s painting methods were revolutionary at the time. He was one of the first artists to master the incorporation on light and shadows into his paintings. This technique was called chiaroscuro, in which the artist gave the subjects of the painting a more lifelike quality by incorporating light and shadows. This source helped us gather information on the contributions of da Vinci to art and science.
This source taught us that the painting, Madonna of the Yarnwinder, was completed in 1501 and Mary and Jesus are pictured. Also, we learned that the baby Jesus is holding a yarnwinder which is symbolic of His crucifixtion later in life. The painting of "Madonna of the Yarnwinder" and information about it that was gathered from this source was used in the "Paintings" page of our website.
This source infers that Da Vinci was a fantastic inventor and one of the greatest artists of the renaissance period. He was apprenticed by one of the most acclaimed masters in Florence to become an artist. He made plans for the first bicycle, helicopter, airplane, and many more firsts that wouldn’t appear for a long time. This site helped us to gather information on the inventions of Leonardo da Vinci.
This source states that Leonardo was a “man of both worlds” meaning he was experienced in the fields of both art and science, and was truly a renaissance man. He kept “detailed drawings” of many anatomical structures, and painted some of the most famous paintings in the world. This source aided us in the research of Leonardo's revolutionary ways in both science and art.
This site taught the year in which the painting, St. John the Baptist was completed and it also deciphered the symbolism of the gestures and posture of St. John in the painting.
From this site, we learned that The Virgin of the Rocks was originally an altarpiece in Milan. Also, we found out that da Vinci was assisted in painting this work of art by the brothers of Evangelista and Giovanni de Predis. Information from this source was used to describe the painting "Virgin of the Rocks."
