Leonardo da Vinci
Image
In an atmosphere of uniform density the most distant things seen through it, such as the mountains, in consequence of the great quantity of atmosphere which is between your eye and them, will appear blue. Therefore you should make the building... wall which is more distant less defined and bluer... five times as far away, make five times as blue.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
It is a far worthier thing to read by the light of experience than to adorn oneself with the labors of others.
Leonardo da Vinci
