A shadow may be infinitely dark,
and also of infinite degrees of absence of darkness...
Leonardo DaVinci
When Leonardo DaVinci was 19 and was an apprentice , his workshop got the contract to build the 8 foot diameter gold plated ball and place it on top of the Duomo in Florence. Leonardo was very involved in this project and on May 29, 1471 he climbed to the top of the dome and assisted in placing the ball in place.
Santa Maria del Fiore (also known simply as the Duomo) is the cathedral of Florence noted for its distinctive dome. Its name ("Saint Mary of the Flower") refers to the lily, the symbol of Florence. The impressive Gothic cathedral complex includes the Duomo, the famous baptistery and a campanile.
From the NC Art Museum website:
The Codex Leicester is a 500-year-old notebook from inventor, scientist, and artist Leonardo da Vinci. Named after the Earl of Leicester, who purchased the 72-page manuscript in 1717, it is composed of 18 sheets of paper, each folded in half and written in the artist’s famed “mirror writing.”
Together with the rough sketches and drawings accompanying them, the notes offer a glimpse into one of the greatest minds in history. The central theme of the work is water, but this quickly expands into astronomy, light and shade, and mechanics. The Codex is the only one of Leonardo’s manuscripts in North America.
