The Embodiment of Engineering in Renaissance Art Works Based on the Art Works by Leonardo da Vinci, Albrecht Drer, and Mariano di Jacopo

Abstract

During the Renaissance, many artists create pieces of work with the help of perspectives on different fields, like mathematics and engineering. The perspectives of mathematics and engineering are shown in different art pieces by different artists, such as Leonardo da Vinci, Drer, and Taccola. They are discovered in the Codex on the Flight of Birds by Leonardo Da Vinci, the perpetual wheel with articulated arms by Taccola, and Drers Melodia. Together, the author discovered how the three pieces bring out the perspectives of mathematics and engineering, how art is combined with these perspectives in the different art pieces, and what it brought to or inspire people together. Through analyzing different pieces of literature and the art piece itself, the authors found out that art can relate to the perspectives of mathematics and engineering. These brilliant art pieces also did inspire future generations of people who continue to study this topic and the history related to this field.
