Most think of da Vinci as an artist, others, a scientist; but in my view he was more of an idol. When I was young my grandmother bought me a 4 movie set on painters, some from the present, some from the past, all from different places around the world. When I got this gift from my grandma, my response was unenthusiastic, to say the least. But there were a few great things that came out of those movies, and one, was my discovery of Leonardo da Vinci.
To me, he was an idol, not in the way that I wanted to draw or paint like him, though that would be wonderful. But the thing that he inspired me most to be, was curious. Da Vinci had a constant craving to learn more. He satisfied it with his paintings, wrintings, inventions, and ideas.
In my eyes Da Vinci was a revolutionary, he had theories that were not yet being thought by people as a whole, he dug deep into ideas to find out more. He painted like nobodies buisness, and he is continued to be thought of as somewhat of a legend to the world.
Leonardo da Vinci is a huge influence to me, he in a way taught me to satisfy my curiosity and go far with my dreams.
Above is a one of my favorite paintings by Leonardo da Vinci.
