Leonardo da Vinci
Nothing is hidden under the sun.
Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci
Every now and then go away, have a little relaxation, for when you come back to your work your judgment will be surer.
Leonardo da Vinci
The eye - which sees all objects reversed - retains the images for some time.
Leonardo da Vinci
A single and distinct luminous body causes stronger relief in the objects than a diffused light as may be seen by comparing one side of a landscape illuminated by the sun, and one overshadowed by clouds, and illuminated only by the diffused light of the atmosphere.
Leonardo da Vinci
Avoid studies of which the result dies with the worker.
Leonardo da Vinci
Art lives from constraints and dies from freedom.
