How did Da Vinci die?
Leonardo da Vinci left Florence for Milan, where he also served the royal family. By 15 13, Leonardo da Vinci came to Rome again. During his stay in Rome, Leonardo da Vinci met Michelangelo and other famous Renaissance artists and had a simple exchange with them. But at this time, Leonardo da Vinci did not show his talents to everyone, but studied some tricks.
Because leonardo da vinci didn't want Rome, he left after a short stay. 15 16, Leonardo da Vinci settled in Amboise, France. At this time, Leonardo da Vinci has entered his later years, rarely painting, on the contrary, more time is spent on scientific research. 15 19, Leonardo da Vinci died in the arms of French king Francois. Before his death, he gave all his paintings and most of his manuscripts to his favorite student, Francisco, so that future generations could have a chance to see the famous Mona Lisa in the Louvre hundreds of years ago.
Leonardo da Vinci is a unique generalist in human history. The word unique is used because Leonardo da Vinci's accomplishments in various fields have reached a height that others can't reach, and many disciplines even appeared after Leonardo da Vinci's research. The death of Leonardo da Vinci is actually a loss for all mankind.
Why did Leonardo da Vinci go to France in the last few years and still die there?
Leonardo da Vinci is an Italian, or rather, a suburb of Florence. He lived to be 67 years old. As we all know, Leonardo da Vinci spent his last years in France. Why did Da Vinci go to France? What did Leonardo da Vinci do in France? How did Da Vinci die? These are still controversial.
In the west, people call Da Vinci "genius", which means genius. This evaluation is already very high. In leonardo da vinci's time, his fame was also very famous in Europe. The places he visited, such as Milan, Rome and Venice, were highly treated. Leonardo da Vinci went to France because of the invitation of the French king at that time.
This is an oil painting by Angel, which shows Leonardo da Vinci on his deathbed. There are many versions of this painting, both rough and small. It can be seen that Angel, a great painter, painted with great care. On the screen, the red curtain is filled with a warm and solemn atmosphere. On the white bed, Leonardo da Vinci was dying. He is dying. Judging from his face, his facial muscles are flabby, his face is drooping, and his white beard is very long, which is in sharp contrast with French King Francois I, who is very close. There is an open Bible and a ceremonial cross on the table. The cardinal also arrived. He stood in the lower right corner of the photo and was taken to Da Vinci's bed.
Why did Da Vinci go to France? It's a long story There are several versions of this story. It is directly related to its promoter, French King Francois I, who is a monarch with strong interest in art and culture. This is a blessing to the country. As we all know, the Louvre, the palace where the French king lived, was built as early as Philip II. But for more than 300 years, the Louvre has not had much culture. This Francois I is a key figure who directly promoted the Louvre to become an art palace.
Leonardo da vinci and Fran? ois met because they had a meeting and had a good talk. It is estimated that during that meeting, Da Vinci and Fran? ois Kan Kan talked about his views on religion, philosophy and art, especially religion, which was clearly written in The Da Vinci Code. 15 15, Francois I invited Leonardo da Vinci to France. For Leonardo da Vinci, although he worked for the imperial court, especially in Milan, for the then Duke of Sforza, he was unhappy and relatively poor. Therefore, for Francois I, he was happy to go.
This Francois I was so obsessed with art that when he invited Leonardo da Vinci, he even wanted to move The Last Supper out of the Gratitude Monastery of Notre Dame in Milan. As a result, because the scale was too large, it was painted on murals, and finally I had to give up. At that time, Leonardo da Vinci took the Mona Lisa everywhere, and this painting went to France with Madonna in the Rock and John the Baptist. That's why we can see these paintings in the Louvre today.
Francois I, who loves art, is also a wonderful work. We know that ancient people were not tall. For example, Louis XIV and Napoleon in France were a little over 1.5 meters tall, but Francois I belonged to the giants of that era. The lion armor now hidden in the French military museum is said to have been specially worn by Francois I. This suit of armor depicts the image of the lion, the king of beasts, and is full of masculinity. By removing the height of the armor, it can be inferred that the wearer is nearly two meters tall. So Francois I was a big shot.
After arriving in France, the friendship between Leonardo da Vinci and Francois I was very deep. Francois I gave the summer palace of Leonardo da Vinci the Castle of Clos. This castle was rebuilt by 147 1 on the basis of12nd century castles. It is made of white travertine and red bricks. Francois I lived in Humbois Castle across the street. It is said that in order to meet every day, the king of France specially opened an underground passage for the "tryst" of two good friends.
Leonardo da Vinci also spared no effort to show his loyalty. He designed the spiral staircase of Champol Castle for the French king, and a number of designs were unheard of at that time.
Da Vinci died in 15 19 at the age of 67. A brief introduction to Leonardo da Vinci when he didn't die in the arms of Francois I, because the French king at that time was still away from home. In the last three years, it should be said that Leonardo da Vinci died and enjoyed his old age.
