Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci
The poet ranks far below the painter in the representation of visible things, and far below the musician in that of invisible things.
Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci
The wisest and noblest teacher is nature itself.
Leonardo da Vinci
The eye is the window of the human body through which it feels its way and enjoys the beauty of the world.
Leonardo da Vinci
If you are representing a white body let it be surrounded by ample space, because as white has no colour of its own, it is tinged and altered in some degree by the colour of the objects surrounding it
Leonardo da Vinci
Details make perfection, and perfection is not a detail.
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
He who possesses most must be most afraid of loss.
Leonardo da Vinci
Nature is full of infinite causes that have never occurred in experience.
Leonardo da Vinci
