simplicity is the best sophistication
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
The good painter must paint two things: a person and the essence of his soul.
Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci
Image
The young man should first learn perspective, then the proportions of objects. Next, copy work after the hand of a good master, to gain the habit of drawing parts of the body well and then to work from nature, to confirm the lessons learned.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
He who wishes to see how the soul inhabits the body should look to see how that body uses its daily surroundings. If the dwelling is dirty and neglected, the body will be kept by its soul in the same condition, dirty and neglected.
Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci
Image
Do not imitate one another's style. If you do, so far as your art is concerned you will be called a grandson, rather than the son of Nature.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
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
Image
Most men are of naught more use in their lives but as machines for turning food into sh*t.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
The eye which turns from a white object in the light of the sun and goes into a less fully lighted place will see everything as dark.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
The smallest feline is a masterpiece.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
Small rooms or dwellings discipline the mind, large ones weaken it.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
People reveal themselves completely only when they are thrown out of the customary conditions of their life.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
The organ of perception acts more readily than judgment.
Leonardo da Vinci
