Leonardo da Vinci - An insight into the life of a genius

Leibardo Da Vinci Leibardo da vinci- topwoldnews.  It is her smile that has fascinated people for more than 500 years: The Mona Lisa. Every year millions of people flock to the Louvre in Paris to catch a glimpse of the artwork that made the Italian painter Leonardo da Vinci so famous. Behind thick bulletproof glass, protected from theft and attacks, she smiles gracefully at the amazed people. Mona Lisa: the work of art to which the master himself was hopelessly addicted. The genesis of this painting is entwined in a variety of stories. A commissioned work for the Florentine silk merchant Francesco di Bartolomeo di Zanobi del Giocondo is rumoured by some to be a self-portrait of Leonardo, which possibly suggests latent homoerotic fantasies, others suspect. Who she really was or what da Vinci wanted to express with this picture will probably remain his secret forever. Leonardo da Vinci was born on 15 April 1452 in the small village of Vinci near Empoli in Tuscany. His parents were the su

Leonardo da Vinci  Leonardo da Vinci, however, focused his attention not on the fine arts, but on the natural sciences. More than 10,000 sheets of paper with notes were created in the course of his work, giving deep insights into the thinking of the great master. Above all, it was the desire to fly that had impressed him. Therefore, he meticulously examined the wing characteristics of bats and birds, the curvature of the wings, the density and arrangement of the feathers and the number of beats within a certain period of time. At nights he locked himself in his workshop to redevelop the possibilities of human flight. Countless sketches and models of flying machines were created. Leonardo da Vinci not only considered materials and technologies that were known at the time, but he also considered possibilities that would only be realized 400 years later. Leonardo da Vinci always proceeded very precisely with his recordings, as for example with the following description of a parachute. If

In 1482 Leonardo da Vinci left Florence and went to Milan to the princely court of the Sforza, where he had applied as a bridge builder, fortress breaker, naval engineer, designer of dangerous guns, slingshot and combat vehicles, as a builder of water pipes and generally as an architect. Only incidentally does he mention in his application that he was also a painter and sculptor. Why leonardo emphasized his knowledge of engineering is entirely connected with the time. In those days, northern Italy was in a state of war, which is why the princes and lords of the country had little sense for the fine arts. They demanded weapons and cannons. Nevertheless, da Vinci was initially active in Milan as an organiser of festivals, making music, writing poems and designing stage sets for ballet and theatre performances. In 1488 he began his famous fresco "The Last Supper", which was to decorate the ceiling of the dining room of the monastery of Santa Maria delle Grazie. But the work prog

Leonardo da Vinci In winter 1499 Leonardo da Vinci had to leave Milan. The french invaded Italy, burned through Lombardy and besieged Milan. Via Mantua and Venice Leonardo returned to Florence where he stayed until 1506. During this time he served Cesare Borgia as general, engineer and painted the picture of Mona Lisa. As already mentioned, it is still unclear who the painting represents. According to stories, da Vinci himself is possessed by this work. In order not to have to sell the original he finally made a copy which he sold to the French king Franz the first for the gigantic sum of 4000 gold. That corresponds to around half a million dollars today. It is also this picture that after many different owners, among others it hung in the bedroom of Napoleon, can be visited in the Louvre today. In 1506 da Vinci returned to Milan at the invitation of the French. He was able to move into his old chambers again, where he found the documents and experiments he had left behind. Full of en

People are more important than the product

Reflections on several decades of managing news publications A student in a media management course had to interview a media professional for his final research project. I agreed to be his subject, and in the course of an hour, he got me to talk about my philosophy of management in the digital era. Reading over the transcript of that interview, I realized how my thinking had changed over the years. The main lesson I learned was to put people first. Growing up in the old newspaper model of the news factory, I developed skill in the processes of production, meeting deadlines, getting the product out the door. That was the priority: produce a sufficent quantity of content at a level of professional quality consistent with the limitations of time, money, and space (the news pages) available. The paradox Over time, I discovered an interesting paradox: Putting people first generates more profit. If you think first about developing your people and helping them achieve their personal and profe
