EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history - Leonardo da Vinci's draft of a parachute, dating back to around 1485. Created with feather and ink on paper, this artwork is part of the Codex Atlanticus, specifically found on folio 1058. Housed in a private collection, it offers us a glimpse into the genius mind of da Vinci. Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519), an Italian polymath and one of the greatest artists and thinkers in history, left behind an extensive body of work that continues to inspire awe centuries later. This manuscript drawing exemplifies his boundless creativity and innovative spirit. The intricate details within this draft reveal da Vinci's meticulous approach towards engineering and design. The parachute depicted here demonstrates his visionary ideas for human flight long before such concepts were realized. It serves as a testament to his forward-thinking nature and willingness to explore uncharted territories. As we admire this masterpiece captured by Giancarlo Costa, we are reminded not only of Leonardo da Vinci's artistic prowess but also his immense contributions to various fields including science, anatomy, architecture, and more. His legacy continues to shape our understanding of the world today. This photograph invites us into the realm where art meets science; where imagination intertwines with practicality; where dreams take flight from mere sketches on parchment. It is an homage to one man's insatiable curiosity that forever changed our perception of what is possible.
