Leonard

We are often astounded by the scientific achievements of Leonardo and by the visionary nature of his drawings of plants, anatomy and geology. Although he was also an ingenious engeneer - and his most famous inventions such as the helicopter or the parachute testify this - I think that he begun to draw the things of nature, in particular anatomy, not for scientific interest, but in relationships with painting - the knwoledge of anatomy is essential for the portrait of a human body.
