Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci
Of the horse I will say nothing because I know the times.
Leonardo da Vinci
Poetry is superior to painting in the presentation of words, and painting is superior to poetry in the presentation of facts. For this reason I judge painting to be superior to poetry.
Leonardo da Vinci
True and great love springs out of great knowledge, and where you know little you can love but little or not at all.
Leonardo da Vinci
When you draw a nude, sketch the whole figure and nicely fit the members to it and to each other. Even though you may only finish one portion of the drawing, just make certain that all the parts hang together, so that the study will be useful to you in the future.
Leonardo da Vinci
Nothing is hidden under the sun.
Leonardo da Vinci
Painting is concerned with the ten things you can see: these are darkness and brightness, substance and color, form and place, remoteness and nearness, movement and rest.
Leonardo da Vinci
Learning is the only thing that never disappoints us.
Leonardo da Vinci
