An exhibition dedicated to the most remarkable character of the Renaissance era opens in St.Petersburg
Great Leonardo da Vinci appears primarily as a brilliant inventor at the exhibition. About 60 exhibits recreate his outstanding engineering developments in the field of military science, mechanics, optics, aerodynamics, as well as present research on the anatomy.
Leonardo da Vinci is a vivid example of a polymath. He was an inventor and scientist, painter, sculptor, architect and writer. Leonardo gave the world a lot of his ideas, works of art and also left a variety of puzzles, over which scientists are still scratching their heads. Only a quarter of his inventions had been implemented, and the rest of it seemed too bold and even fantastic for Leonardo's contemporaries.
Inventions and discoveries, which were made by Da Vinci, run the gamut of all hemisphere of knowledges (more than 50!), and it`s fully anticipating the direction of development of modern civilization.
