Leonardo da Vinci Quotes
A wave is never found alone, but is mingled with as many other waves as there are uneven places in the object where the said wave is produced.
da Vinci, Leonardo. The Literary Works of Leonardo da Vinci. Translated by Jean Paul Richter, Sampson Low, Marston, Searle & Rivington, 1883, p. 182.
Leonardo da Vinci was an Italian polymath of the High Renaissance who was active as a painter, draughtsman, theorist, engineer, scientist, sculptor and architect. While his fame initially rested on his achievements as a painter, he also became known for his notebooks, in which he made drawings and notes on a variety of subjects, including anatomy, astronomy, botany, cartography, painting, and paleontology. Leonardo's genius epitomized the Renaissance humanist ideal, and his collective works compose a contribution to later generations of artists rivaled only by that of his younger contemporary and fellow founder of the High Renaissance, Michelangelo.
