Leonardo was not opposed to the application of his artistic talents in favor of his engineering talents and reverse. While he painted the world, he was a scientist creating new colors, methods, products, and products like he was at ease being an artist who created engineering works – his sketches prove this. In fact, Leonardo’s ingenuity at the art studio was partially at fault for the poor quality of his work. The Last Supper 15th century mural from the Convent of Santa Maria delle Grazie in Milan, Italy, was executed on dry and not wet plaster and began flaking only twenty years later after its completion.
The breadth and depth of Leonardo’s understanding are evident everywhere, and his work on physics is guided by his knowledge of human anatomy and the psychology of humans. One of the most evocative examples of this interplay of worlds is The Vitruvian Man. It was inspired by research done by Roman architect Vitruvius, who built his architectural proportions based on human shape. It allowed Leonardo to go beyond and combine concepts of anatomy, mathematics, and design into one image, which is a singular visual bridge that connects the sciences and art.
Learning by observation and the process of experimentation
Leonardo da Vinci can also be described as a constant search for knowledge and continuous learning. He was a man who was addicted to learning and convinced of the necessity of building complementary capabilities, skills, and capacities. What is amazing is the fact that Leonardo was a self-study and an autodidact. By observing and observation, he was able to understand the significance of complicated phenomenon and their relationships with variables.
A good example of his contribution is his contributions to geology. Based on a simple observation, his work was among the first researchers to realize that fossils were the fossilized bones of living creatures:
“… between two rock layers is the remains of worms that moved through them when they were not yet dry.”

The historical review of his work shows his followers how Leonardo was also adept at “selling” new projects. Between his time with the Medicis through the Sforzas, Da Vinci took on projects that ranged from the design of military equipment to the design of the Last Supper as well as architecture and the creation of bat-inspired aircraft.

In this regard, Leonardo was able to do beyond merely putting forward amazing devices or breathtaking artworks. He also was able to create them in a project management method:
Locating the needed financing.
Establishing the diverse human and technological requirements.
Bringing the desired ideas to life.
In this way, we can see an indication that the “hardness” of Leonardo’s techniques was matched by “softness,” a parallel ability to impress his clients in the future by presenting new concepts.
Leonardo was also an accomplished event organizer. On the 19th of June 1518, Leonardo planned events to celebrate the marriage of Lorenzo di Pietro de Medici and Madeleine de La Tour d’Auvergne at Amboise. Of course, even the greatest of geniuses are safe from the possibility of disaster when it comes to planning an occasion like a wedding. In a previous incident that occurred when Ludovico Sforza wanted him to create an edible altar of 200 feet of polenta and cake for the wedding of his daughter, da Vinci forgot to consider one thing: the presence of rats, who consumed the majority of the altar prior to it was even erected.
