Leonardo da Vinci's style is the epitome of Renaissance mastery. His art, often called "Leonardesque," is characterized by:
- Sfumato: A soft, hazy blurring of lines creating a smokey, almost dreamlike effect (think the Mona Lisa's lips).
- Chiaroscuro: Dramatic use of light and shadow to sculpt forms and create depth.
- Anatomical Accuracy: A deep understanding and meticulous depiction of the human body, reflecting his scientific studies.
- Psychological Realism: Capturing the inner emotions and character of his subjects through subtle expressions and gestures.
- Idealized Beauty: A striving for perfection in form and composition, reflecting classical ideals.
A memorable way to tie Da Vinci's name to his style is through his versatility: he was a "Da Vinci" of trades, constantly exploring diverse fields to infuse his art with scientific knowledge and create uniquely innovative, Leonardesque works.
