Adam shares with us another piece from his collection of "impossible objects"--replicas of artifacts that we would never be able to touch and examine in person. He has just received perfect recreations of Leonardo da Vinci's Codex Forester III: the artist's notes, diagrams, and sketches pertaining to locking devices, architecture, and human and animal anatomy. These creations by paper artist Stefano Tartaglione are some of the most compelling replicas in Adam's collection.

It’s so nice seeing that Da Vinci’s sketchbooks are just as messy as any artist’s sketchbooks.

Those anatomy drawings are insane. I can't imagine how valuable that info would be centuries ago.

@kerriemckinstry-jett8625 Год назад

Tragically, Leonardo never published them. If he had, Leonardo, not Vesalius, would now be known as the founder of modern anatomical study.

@pa4tim Год назад

It is told he ordered to dig up secretly at night just buried corpses to dissect and study them. His drawings are amazing. I often think what would a genius as Leonardo accomplice if he was born in the 21 centurie where he would have had acces to a lot more information (internet) You can now study things like physics just on your own. Even watch things like the Feynman lectures so at home on you tube. A privilege before only possible for relative a few people.

@kerriemckinstry-jett8625 Год назад

@@pa4tim If I recall correctly, it was technically illegal to do dissections if you weren't a surgeon. He had to pretty much bribe people at the early modern version of morgues to be allowed to dissect bodies. I would say this was why he didn't publish, but I doubt that would've stopped him. Instead, it's more likely that his own propensity for starting projects & stopping them randomly when something else caught his attention is the real culprit.

@pa4tim Год назад

@@kerriemckinstry-jett8625 Sounds like a sort of Asperger syndrome 🙂 I did not know it was forbidden, make sense, I do not think you are allowed to do that now at your home either. I read it was rather common for scientists in those times not to publish (Had Mabey also to do with the church) I think science like we know it was not yet a real thing in those days. You could probably study art as an apprentice, become a medic, study theology, maybe languages , learn a trade like carpenter but I do not think you could officially study things like physics, math, biology. But I could be wrong.

@kerriemckinstry-jett8625 Год назад

@@pa4timNo one was a "scientist" at all until the term was coined in the 1830s. There wasn't really any formal studying of some of those different topics until around probably the late 16th/early 17th centuries, either (it depends on the country's education system which was mostly for the elite). You could be a "natural philosopher", though. I'm not sure exactly what was considered adequate training for that... usually a teacher in the Greek mode? I'm talking about Western science, of course, but Leonardo was Florentine, so it fits.

I love how when adam is ageing his own papercraft, he is so rough with it, imparting as much random wear to it as possible, but when he adores someone elses work, he takes such care, like holding a baby bird.

@HaileISela Год назад

if i recall correctly, in another video where Adam shows and tells about the other pieces by the artist, he talks more extensively about the paper sculpting bit, and I think every single cut and rip is a true facsimile of the original. so this is very different from just the coffee stain and hammer aging of a prop. and i was nervous the whole time until he registered and retracted the knife...

The level of detail in Leonardo Da Vinci's anatomical drawings is mind-blowing! It's fascinating to think about how invaluable that information would have been centuries ago. 🎨🧠🔍 His work truly showcases his genius and his curiosity about the human body. Exploring his notebooks gives us a glimpse into the incredible mind of a true Renaissance man. It's a treasure trove of knowledge and a testament to Da Vinci's everlasting impact on art and science.

@worldimu Год назад

Yes! Leonardo is definitely a treasure trove of knowledge, and many of us forget he wrote down his thoughts and ideas in his codexes that are equally as profound as many of his illustrations. An Immortal Mentor.

@Puddingbat Год назад

Da Vinci was my childhood icon, and I'm so stoked to see you had a specific commission of his anatomica. I would note one of the anatomica is double sided and is effectively two images in one is you look at it back lit, the one side is superimposed on the other, making a complete display of a body. I think it was from the Royal collection, and was lucky enough to see it exhibited, but my broken brain forgets what it detailed. A superlative and inspirational set of goodies, well done.

@bassvibasics479 Год назад

When I was in highschool there were a series of hardcover books, in roughly 11x17 format that were reproductions of his notebooks. I don't know if they were the original size or not. I poured over those notebooks for several years. I took many notes too. He had many great quotes and passages of wit and wisdom among the drawings.

@XMarkxyz Год назад

The thing that you must know is that Leonardo was much more a scientist, making hypothesis, experiments, guesses and testing them, than he was an artist; so for example he was the first one to understand that the heart is indeed a pump that makes the blood flow all around the body, and how its valves works to regulate flow

@BoltRM Год назад

You probably already know, but he dissected bodies to get such detail

@worldimu Год назад

Yes! Very well done. He valued direct experience and nature over everything else. Who knows what we'll uncover from the wisdom he left us in his work and ideas he wrote down.

@erikbongnilsson246 Год назад

QUESTION: I wish to know what Adams qualified guess was to how they reproduce this. Does anyone know? Does Alessandro Tartaglione reproduce for example those large anatomy drawings by first printing them out and then go through with pencils and draw every single line to the best of his abilities? It's the art of forgery but made in an honest way i suppose, but he can't replicate it free handed because it has to be completely indistinguishable from the original so I mean he kind of has to print them out and use that as a template? I'm really curious to learn more, I hope anyone here has the time to respond :D

@Starganderfish Год назад

Huh? It's just high-resolution laser printing on archival paper. They would no doubt do additional weathering, marking and cuts to simulate the aged look but if you look closely when Adam talks about "Paper sculpting" and shows the "torn edges" those are just cu\t with a precision knife rather than actually worn or torn. These aren't actually that impressive given the cost and limited edition. You see folks on TheRPF and similar collector forums doing better-quality replica work than this. Look at the stark white backs of the Anatomy drawings!
