Beauty of Water Movement in Leonardo's Paintings in Renaissance

Abstract

Tracing back to the period between the 14th century and to the 17th century, the Renaissance was started in Italy, with the essence of humanism, which means the reverence for the Greek and Roman culture. Leonardo Da Vinci tends to be the originator of the theory of waves. This article focuses on Leonardo Da Vinci's fluid flow-related work and thought, as well as the beauty of the spiral, as exhibited in his notebooks, letters, and artwork. From the standpoint of water whirlpools, pigtail patterns, and Leonardo Da Vinci's cardiovascular research, using analogies, case analysis, and literature analysis, the beauty of the Renaissance's blending of science and art could be demonstrated. In addition, from the perspective of the values or contributions that Leonardo Da Vinci left behind, the emphasis may be placed on the reverence and awe that Leonardo bestowed upon life, and from the case studies of Golden Horn in Istanbul and The Chateau de Chambord that Leonardo proposed, the cultural heritage's aesthetic value as well as architecture value could be recognized and fully protected.
