Hello! I'm happy to answer for you;

The man you are talking about is Leonardo da Vinci! ! !

First of all, he is an Italian in Europe. Below, I'll give you some information (Baidu Encyclopedia).

Leonardo da Vinci (1April 45215-1May 2, 9) is one of the three outstanding figures of the Italian Renaissance and the most perfect representative of the whole European Renaissance.

He is a knowledgeable and versatile painter, astronomer, inventor, architectural engineer and military engineer.

He is a genius, he is keen on artistic creation and theoretical research, studying how to express various problems of the body with lines and three-dimensional modeling; On the other hand, he also studies natural science.

In order to have a real and touching artistic image, he has extensively studied many subjects related to painting, such as optics, mathematics, geology, biology and so on.

His artistic practice and scientific exploration spirit have had a great and far-reaching impact on modern times.

He is a scholar who studies the Italian Renaissance.

His talent may be higher than other figures in the same period, which makes him a representative figure of humanism in the Renaissance, a typical artist in the Renaissance and one of the most famous painters in history. He, Michelangelo and Raphael are also called the three masters of the Renaissance.

Asteroid 3000 was named "Leonardo" to show people's respect and nostalgia for leonardo da vinci.

Biography of people;

1. Leonardo da Vinci (1452- 15 19) was born in Kiano village near the Italian town of Finch, which is close to Florence.

Leonardo da vinci is an illegitimate child and spent his childhood in his grandfather's grange.

Da Vinci was smart and studious when he was a child, and he had a wide range of interests.

He sings very well and learned to play the pipa very early. His impromptu singing, whether it is lyrics or tunes, is amazing.

He likes painting very much and often paints for his neighbors. He has the reputation of "painting prodigy".

The leonardo da vinci family was a noble family in Florence at that time. His father, pierrot, wanted Da Vinci to be a lawyer like himself, but something happened later that made pierrot change his mind and decided to let Da Vinci Jr. learn painting.

At that time, pierrot was entrusted by a farmer to draw a shield painting.

He heard that his son could paint and wanted to try his son's painting skills, so he gave the task to Little Finch.

With rich imagination, Little Finch spent a month drawing a terrible monster.

This monster has fireball-like eyes, an open maw, and flames and poison gas spew out of his nostrils. It looks terrible.

After the work was finished, Little Finch invited his father to his room.

He covered half the window and erected an easel where the light just fell on the monster.

When pierrot walked into the room for the first time, he saw this hideous monster at a glance and cried with fear.

The sparrow smiled and said to her father, "Please accept it, it is the effect it should have." Convinced that his son had a talent for painting, pierrot sent Finch to Florence to study plastic arts systematically under the guidance of the famous artist Rocchio.

At this time, Da Vinci was only 14 years old.

Rocchio's original boat was a famous art center in Florence at that time, where Italian humanists often gathered to discuss academic issues.

Da Vinci established a large number of well-known humanists, artists and scientists here, and began to accept the influence of humanism.

By the age of 20, Leonardo da Vinci had already achieved high artistic attainments. He used brushes and carving knives to express the truth, goodness and beauty of nature and real life, and enthusiastically praised the happiness of life and the beauty of nature.

Leonardo da vinci is not satisfied with his talent. He wants to master all fields of human thought.

He has a unique vision, capable work and artistic soul.

Once, he got lost in the mountains and came to a dark cave.

When he later recalled this experience, he said, "I suddenly had two emotions-fear and longing: I was afraid of the dark cave and wanted to see if there would be anything strange in it." His life has been bound by these two emotions-he is afraid of the unknowable mystery of life, but he wants to expose, study, explain its meaning and describe its grandeur.

He made up his mind to be a researcher, a teacher, and especially an artist.

Leonardo da vinci, a great scientist, has made amazing achievements in both art and natural science.

His vision and scientific knowledge are beyond his time.

In the early Renaissance, people blindly accepted traditional ideas and worshipped ancient authorities and classical works.

People learn scientific knowledge only by studying Aristotle's theory like the Bible, and only believe in written records.

Leonardo da Vinci opposed the scholastic philosophers' taking the past teaching and speech as the knowledge base, and encouraged people to learn from nature and seek knowledge and truth from nature.

He believes that knowledge comes from practice, and only by starting from practice can we explore the mysteries of science through practice.

He said that "it is the greatest misfortune that theory is divorced from practice" and "practice should be based on good theory".

Leonardo da Vinci put forward and mastered this advanced scientific method, and applied it to scientific research, making great contributions to natural science.

This method, which he proposed, was later developed by Galileo and theoretically summarized by British philosopher Francis Bacon, and became the most basic method of modern natural science.

Leonardo da Vinci believed in science. He hated religion and attacked Catholicism as a "shop selling deception".

He said, "There is only one truth. He is not in religion, but in science. " Leonardo da Vinci's experimental working method paved the way for the later inventions of Copernicus, Galileo, Kepler and Newton.

In astronomy, Leonardo da Vinci held a negative view of the traditional "geocentric theory".

He believes that the earth is not the center of the solar system, let alone the center of the universe, but just a planet orbiting the sun, and the sun itself does not move.

Leonardo da Vinci also thought that the moon itself did not shine, but only reflected the sun's brilliance.

His view was put forward earlier than Copernicus's "Sun-centered Theory".

Even then, Leonardo da Vinci fantasized about using solar energy.

In physics, Leonardo da Vinci rediscovered the concept of liquid pressure and put forward the principle of communication device.

He pointed out: in communication devices, the liquid level of the same liquid is the same, the liquid level of different liquids is different, and the height of liquid is inversely proportional to density.

He discovered the principle of inertia, which was later proved by Galileo's experiment.

He believes that a projectile initially rises along an inclined straight line, makes a curve displacement under the mixed action of gravity and impulse, and finally runs out of impulse under the action of gravity and makes a vertical falling motion.

His discovery shook Aristotle's theory of falling objects.

He developed the lever principle, which not only deduced the relationship between acting force and arm length, but also calculated the relationship between speed and arm length.

He pointed out that perpetual motion machine is impossible as an energy source.

Leonardo da Vinci also predicted the atomic principle of matter and vividly described the power of atomic energy: "That thing will explode from the ground, ... causing people to die suddenly in silent breathing, and the castle will be completely destroyed. It seems destructive in the air. " Leonardo da vinci has also made great achievements in anatomy and physiology, and is known as the originator of modern physiological anatomy.

He mastered the knowledge of human anatomy and studied physiology and medicine from anatomy.

He first used wax to express the internal structure of human brain, and was also the first person to imagine making hearts and eyes out of glass and ceramics.

He discovered the function of blood and thought that blood played a metabolic role in human body.

He said that blood constantly transforms the whole body, bringing nutrition to all parts of the body, and then taking away the waste in the body.

Leonardo da Vinci studied the heart. He found that the heart has four chambers and drew the heart valve.

He believes that one of the causes of death in the elderly is arteriosclerosis, which is caused by lack of exercise.

Later, William Harvey in England confirmed and developed these physiological achievements of Leonardo da Vinci.

Leonardo da Vinci's research and inventions also involved military and mechanical aspects. He invented aircraft, helicopters, parachutes, machine guns, grenades, tanks, submarines, double-hull warships, cranes and so on.

He also made great contributions in the fields of mathematics and hydraulic engineering.

It can be said that Leonardo da Vinci's research involves all departments of natural science, and his thoughts and talents go deep into all fields of human knowledge.

He is a rare scholar with all-round development in the world.

However, most of Da Vinci's works and manuscripts were published many years after his death.

Dampier, a historian of science, said of Leonardo da Vinci, "If he publishes his works, science will jump to the situation a hundred years later." When it comes to artistic creation, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo and Raphael achieved the highest achievements in the Renaissance.

Their artistic achievements reached the second peak of western plastic arts after ancient Greece, and reached the first peak in Europe only in painting.

Among them, Leonardo da Vinci is the most prominent, and Engels called him a giant among giants.

In terms of artistic creation, Leonardo da Vinci solved three difficult problems of plastic arts-architecture, sculpture and painting: 1, and solved the design of memorial central dome building and the planning of ideal city; 2. Completed the task of15th century, which has been a headache for sculptors; 3. Solved two important problems in painting at that time-memorial murals and altar paintings.

Leonardo da Vinci's artistic works not only reflect things like mirrors, but also express them by thinking, observing and choosing beautiful parts of nature, thus guiding his own creation.

Mural The Last Supper, Altar Madonna in the Rock and Portrait Mona Lisa are three masterpieces of his life.

These three works are one of the treasures left by Leonardo da Vinci to the world art treasure house and the cornerstone of European art.

Leonardo da Vinci, the representative of the Renaissance spirit, had more and wider fantasies than anyone in the Renaissance.

He is profound in thought and knowledge.

He studied all the mysteries of nature and life with a never-ending spirit of exploration. He integrated art and science, reason and emotion, body and spirit, inherited and carried forward the humanistic thought and realistic expression of predecessors, pushed art to an unprecedented height and made great contributions to the development of natural science.

Leonardo da Vinci is well-deserved "the most perfect representative of the Renaissance".

I hope the answer can help you! ! !
