they say so Three quarters of his works have been destroyed or lost.. This means that there is a lot to learn about this genius. Yet Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) became one of the greatest figures in history. Painter, sculptor, engineer, scientist, mathematician, philosopher, poet, anatomist… the list of disciplines he dealt with is enormous, and his vision ahead of his time made him travel to the future to think about machines and tools that were the basis of some elements and objects that meant great advances centuries later. for science, for humanity.
This is what he’s talking about Leonardo da Vinci’s machines, example installed in the exhibition hall Alicante Provincial Council (Also found in the Provincial Palace gardens along with some parts) a walk through this renaissance man’s universe with some of his most outstanding inventions, especially palpable to better understand its operation.
Exhibition to see until 1 NovemberIt contains more than fifty copies of his machines Thanks to the team led by the Italian genius, they turned into reality from the newspaper that reflected them. Florentine engineer Tarchiani. It is also completed by duplication. about twenty paintings by the artist, Gioconda a Last dinner.
da Vinci many sketches and drawings of all his creations, collected in several codes, among which collection. Madrid National Library and what do they represent the most important engineering theses of the time.
inventions
Among these inventions, mirrored living room works with refraction reflecting infinite reflections, dome making machine, jib crane, air screw, with the concept later used to create the helicopter; predecessors flying machinesthey gadgets for war or water-related devices, e.g. hydraulic saw or your Archimedean cylinder. “This cylinder was already used but perfected it,” he states. Xavier Costacurator of the exhibition, who made a presentation yesterday with the President of Diputación, Carlos Mazonand Culture Member, Julia Parra. “It was used to draw water from a well, but in the city he designed, he perfected it to be able to carry water to the tops of buildings.”
Room rowing boat“A system we might see later on the steamships of the Mississippi in the 19th century”. He says the concept is the same, “use oars instead of oars; he went further because we’re talking about the force that moves a boat in a current, so if you create the current, it will also move.”
In this sense, Xavier Costa emphasizes that “the concepts he had later were used and interestingly, they are very similar as we see in the mechanics”. In this sense, he regrets that Leonardo was discovered the moment the Louvre began to produce his works of painting. “Somehow everything was hiddenbecause the collectors were so committed to their work, but their knowledge was not used.” Instead, “18. Since the 19th century, the Enlightenment, scientific changes, and the possibility of making encyclopedias have somehow saved some of the work of Leonardo’s inventions”. But, “we spent a lot of timemaybe we could have owned the helicopter in the 19th century.”
international and free sample
For Carlos MazonIt is “a privilege” to present this international exhibition that allows us to get closer and introduce ourselves to the minds of one of the world’s greatest.great geniuses of all time“I’m convinced that Leonardo invented the time machine, and I’m also convinced that he used it to go from the 20th century to the 15th century, because most of his inventions are more than 300 or 400 years old.”
Diputación de Alicante defends the president investment in cultural projects as “completely necessary and a priority” that takes place in large-scale projects.
“Leonardo da Vinci continues to arouse great interest centuries later,” says Julia Parra.the uniqueness, quality and free character of this new exhibition which makes Alicante fashionable again as a cultural destination”.
In addition, it assures that “with this ambitious proposal”, “a new phase has opened in which we will take another step in the annual program as we seek to reconcile support for local artists with large projects on par with major capitals, which can now be visited here”.
