QUOTE: “He who does not punish evil, commands it to be done.”
AUTHOR: Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci (April
15, 1452 – May 2, 1519, Old Style) was an Italian Renaissance polymath:
painter, sculptor, architect, musician, mathematician, engineer, inventor,
anatomist, geologist, cartographer, botanist, and writer. His genius, perhaps
more than that of any other figure, epitomized the Renaissance humanist ideal.
Leonardo has often been described as the archetype of the Renaissance Man, a
man of "unquenchable curiosity" and "feverishly inventive
imagination". He is widely considered to be one of the greatest painters
of all time and perhaps the most diversely talented person ever to have lived.
According to art historian Helen Gardner, the scope and depth of his interests
were without precedent and "his mind and personality seem to us
superhuman, the man himself mysterious and remote". Marco Rosci states
that while there is much speculation about Leonardo, his vision of the world is
essentially logical rather than mysterious, and that the empirical methods he
employed were unusual for his time.
