Da Vinci (the genius)

Da Vinci was one great man. He also was a great artist. The Golden Ratio shows how math and fractions are represented in art and the human body. To be considered "perfect" you would have these ratios. He used these ratios in some of his other drawings/paintings including but not limited to the Mona Lisa.The Mona Lisa has had many damages happen to it. A man threw a rock at the painting and the elbow had to be repaired. There was also damage caused by acid. To Leonardo she is incomplete. The fingers aren't fully drawn. She has also been stolen and kept for years, after she was recovered they discovered an orange spec on the painting. The horse was also important and the original was shot at for practice and got destroyed. It has been remade.
 There is no art without science.
Cool Quote about a structure: "But be sure that the force is rapid and if the above effect is not obtained, waste no more time on it."
