Leonardo da Vinci
The color of the object illuminated partakes of the color of that which illuminates it.
Leonardo da Vinci
Therefore, O students, study mathematics and do not build without foundations.
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
The light and heat of the universe comes from the sun, and its cold and darkness from the withdrawal of the sun.
