His masterworks such as “Mona Lisa” and “The Last Supper” are milestones of art history, especially because of his innovative techniques like sfumato, which creates soft transitions between light and shadow. This technique influenced artists like Raphael, who in “The School of Athens” also employed a perfect balance between light and perspective, and Caravaggio, who picked up Leonardo’s light studies to create dramatic chiaroscuro in his baroque paintings. Leonardo is often compared with Michelangelo, another Renaissance genius, who became known mainly for his sculptures. While Michelangelo pursued a heroic representation of the human body in works like “David,” Leonardo devoted himself to precise anatomical study. These studies, which viewed the human body from a scientific perspective, had a major influence on the art world and inspired later artists and scientists. Both masters sought the perfect representation of the body, but in different ways: Michelangelo through idealized form, Leonardo through scientific accuracy. Leonardo’s interdisciplinary approaches, which united art and science, were picked up by later artists such as Albrecht Dürer, who also produced anatomical studies to improve his art. Dürer’s drawings, such as the famous “Praying Hands,” show how deeply he engaged with the proportions of the human body – similar to Leonardo. Both artists laid the groundwork for an art grounded in science and natural observation, which prepared the transition to the modern scientific method. Leonardo’s influence on science extended far beyond his own time. His studies on flight mechanics and hydrodynamics made him a pioneer in engineering, akin to Galileo Galilei and Isaac Newton, who likewise explored the laws of nature through observation and experimentation. Leonardo, however, was unique in his ability to combine art and science, making him one of the most important innovators of the Renaissance.
