So for the past week I have dove into the world of Leonardo Da Vinci. My interest was peaked while writing my post about Golden Ratio. It turns out there is a lot of controversy as to whether or not Leonardo Da Vinci used it or not. As you may have seen in the post, I assuredly make the claim that he indeed was obsessive about it.
I intend there will be a few skeptics on here that will come back with their objections for that statement; however, I am privvy to information that no one has seen yet that validates my point.
While researching into Golden Ratio and how Leonardo Da Vinci potentially used it, I uncovered a key aspect of his paintings that has been overlooked - by what I can tell, everyone. It's fairly significant, so although I don't want to hold out on everyone, I must take it through the proper channels first before exposing it.
It will, however, undeniably prove Leonardo Da Vinci's use of Golden Ratio, unlock more insight into his unusual methods, and also put some validity into aspects of the 'Da Vinci Code' novel (might I mention that this book is based on somewhat distorted factual history told through the use of fictional characters and plot).
I think it would be appropriate to mention, that Leonardo was very compulsive about his methods, including the fact that he checked his work through the use of a mirror as he believed it allowed a painter to observe his work from almost a third-person point of view since everything is reversed - and therefore unfamiliar.
I am currently reviewing this method in correlation to what I have discovered to see if there are any new aspects it unlocks.
Nonetheless, I am drained from the research and I feel I have become obsessed with my new findings. I have been dreaming of geometrical shapes, his paintings, and weird symbologies I have run across in my research. It's interesting, mystical, and inspirational to me as an artist.
I will end on the note that Leonardo Da Vinci's works are 1) of an absolute complex beauty that hasn't been fully realized, and 2) the most impressive display of mathmatics to art I have ever seen.
Once I have made my conclusions to the best of my abilities, I will be presenting these findings at the TED conference, if they will gratiuosly accept my presence.

I've been reading books about Leonardo Da Vinci, and his style to create philosophy. I think this artist was the most important, specially if we're talking about classic art and engineer. Da Vinci Code, was the fist book in the market, but you can find others (even more important) and you must try to redact some post about this recommendations to improve the traffic.
