Welcome to EyeBallMania. T-Shirts for those who dare to be different!
The second eye we are spotlighting is Leonardo da Vinceye. Come back often for more in-depth profiles of all of our parodies of Eyes Through the Ages.
Leonardo da Vinci t-shirt. Few people have influenced the world as Leonardo da Vinci. Born in Italy in 1452, Leonardo became a man of infinite curiosity and inventiveness. During his life, Leonardo would become an architect, anatomist, sculptor, engineer, inventor, mathematician, musician, and painter.
Leonardo’s father realized that his son could draw at an early age and was able to get him an apprenticeship with a local artist. Leonardo spent years learning the trade and would eventually surpass the master artist at an early age. Leonardo would continue to paint for his entire life which would pay his bills and put him in great favor of the ruling class.
Leonardo’s mind was amazing. He conceived new military ideas, the tank, machine gun, and better fortifications. Leonardo developed new methods for casting bronze which could make better canons but also could be used to make very large one piece statues.
He saw flight as possible; he designed a man powered airplane, the helicopter, and then worked out a design for a parachute that would safely land you back on Earth. Leonardo worked on designs for using concentrated solar power along with a basic calculator. Using maps that explores were drawing of the African coast line, India, Far East and the newly discovered Americas’, Leonardo started to theorize that the continents fit together which would later be known as The Theory Plate Tectonics. He worked on engineering problems such as water supply and bridges. Leonardo worked on optics, mathematics and in his spare time, music.
Going back to what is probably his greatest love, Leonardo painted. His drawings and paintings astounded people of his time and through the ages. Leonardo thirst for knowledge and his drive to paint humans as accurately as possible lead him down a dangerous path which could have gotten him arrested or put him in a position to get a deadly disease. Leonardo started to dissect people. He paid off the local official who collected the bodies of homeless people who would have no relatives burying them. Leonardo would be told a body had come in and at night would open them up and draw what he saw. As bad as this sounds, no one had ever recorded what we looked like on the inside in any type of detail. Leonard’s drawings, when discovered after his death, would become illustrations doctors would use for hundreds of years. Leonardo would use his drawings to paint people the way they really looked. The way our muscles really move. The way skin actually wrinkles, bends and stretches. Leonardo drew and painted countless works. His two most famous paintings are the Mona Lisa and the Last Supper.
Leonardo was a man vastly ahead of his time and for this artist, one of my personal heroes.
