More quotes by Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci

The instant the atmosphere is illuminated it will be filled with an infinite number of images which are produced by the various bodies and colours assembled in it. And the eye is the target, a lodestone, of these images.
Leonardo da Vinci
