Horse, school of Leonardo da Vinci, (1500-1550)Da Vinci spent a lot of time studying the shape and particularly also
the movement of horses, one of nature's wonders, and in his opinion,
nature was the mistress of all masters. He had plans to sculpt a monumental horse but only completed a clay model during his lifetime. Even during his lifetime, Da Vinci's work was determinative for the High Renaissance's art. As the one artist who always urged others to get their inspiration straight from nature and not from the works of others, he ended up having many followers who worked in his style. This statue reproduction is taken from his drawings and the drawings of his followers.

In Da Vinci's own words: "Life is relatively simple. You do things. Most of them fail. Sometimes they work. If they really work, others will copy them. Then you will have to do it differently again. The trick is to do something different in other words."
Leonardo Da Vinci (1452-1519)Leonardo da Vinci was the archetypal example of the Renaissance ideal: the
uomo universale.
As a Renaissance man he engaged in almost every art and science from
painting to composition and from philosophy to chemistry. Leonardo was
born in the Tuscan mountain town of Vinci as the illegitimate son of a
farm girl and a Florentine notary. He started as an apprentice to
Verrocchio and rose to become an independent painter with his own
studio. From 1482-1499, he worked for the Duke of Milan. Due to the
French siege of Milan, he was forced to return to the region of his
birth where he worked for Cesare Borgia as a military architect and
engineer. For ten years from 1506 onwards, he worked in Milan and Rome.
During the last three years of his life he was employed by the French
King Francois L.
