EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a page from the Codex Forster II, specifically c. 94v, by none other than the legendary Leonardo da Vinci. Housed in the prestigious Victoria and Albert Museum in London, this artwork titled "Considerations and drawings on weights applied to wheels" is a testament to da Vinci's genius. Dating back to around 1493-1505, this drawing offers an intriguing glimpse into the mind of one of history's greatest polymaths. With his insatiable curiosity for understanding how things work, da Vinci explores the intricate physics behind weights applied to wheels. This particular page from his codex delves into various considerations and calculations related to this subject matter. The photograph itself was taken in 2001, allowing us a high-quality reproduction of da Vinci's original masterpiece. The level of detail captured in this image truly does justice to the meticulousness with which he approached his scientific research. It is worth noting that while da Vinci is renowned as an artist primarily due to works like Mona Lisa or The Last Supper, he was equally passionate about mathematics and natural sciences. His ability to seamlessly blend artistry with scientific inquiry sets him apart as a true Renaissance man. This print serves as a reminder not only of Leonardo da Vinci's brilliance but also of humanity's endless quest for knowledge across disciplines. It stands as a tribute to those who dare push boundaries and explore new frontiers through their research - individuals like Leonardo himself who continue inspiring generations long after they are gone.
