Anatomy - Leonardo da Vinci
In the 1480s, Leonard Da Vinci has made considerable scientific drawings. In the late 1480s, for the first time, he made extensive studies on the proportions of the human body, anatomy, and physiology. Leonardo's first true anatomical work dates back to Milano. The study of the dimensions of the human skull and brain ventricles coincides with this period.
In the second period of Milano, the anatomical drawings of Leonardo were taken in front of his paintings. He was beginning to devote more time to anatomy. In contrast to the first anatomical drawings of the Milano period, the human body and the cut and fragmented organs were included. He revealed the details of the anatomy with cross-sections, detailed views, and different angular drawings.
