Leonardo, A Lesson in Creativity
An Evening with Salvatore Mangione, MD

Leonardo da Vinci was exquisitely gifted in both the arts and science, and he practiced them as a “scientist of art and an artist of science.” Five hundred years after his death, his anatomical drawings remain testimony to his unique way of engaging the world both artistically and scientifically. From pioneering the injection of molten wax into ventricles, to multiple views of specimens, to the recurrent use of cross-sections and cutouts, his drawings remind us of a brain that always thought in pictures. They also challenge us to understand what made Leonardo so creative.
