Leonardo da Vinci
A beautiful body perishes, but a work of art dies not.
Leonardo da Vinci
Many will think they may reasonably blame me by alleging that my proofs are opposed to the authority of certain men held in the highest reverence by their inexperienced judgments not considering that my works are the issue of pure and simple experience.
Leonardo da Vinci
The painter who draws merely by practice and by eye, without any reason, is like a mirror which copies every thing placed in front of it without being conscious of their existence.
Leonardo da Vinci
The divisions of Perspective are 3, as used in drawing of these, the first includes the diminution in size of opaque objects the second treats of the diminution and loss of outline in such opaque objects the third, of the diminution and loss of colour at long distances.
Leonardo da Vinci
