There is the painting of “The Last Supper” which was an emotional yet interesting version of events in history as we know it and he portrayed it very well to show the leadership and authority Christ had over individuals who believed. He was an early-renaissance artist that was not only a painter he was also an architect and he incorporated anatomically correct statues as well as still-life paintings and portraits of popular religious figures.
Example 1:
“Leonardo da Vinci, who is without doubt the most significant artist-anatomist of all time, first undertook a series of detailed studies of the human skull in 1489, borrowing from the architect 's rigorous technique of representing three-dimensional forms in plan, section, elevation, and perspectival view. He thereby invented a new vocabulary for the history of scientific illustration. Leonardo produced his most precisely drawn dissections of the human body in 1510–11, probably working under the direction of the young professor of anatomy, Marcantoniodella Torre, from the University of Pavia.” Although none of Leonardo 's discoveries were said to ever have been published in his lifetime his methods of illustrating the dissection of muscles in layers, as well as some of his "plan, section, and elevation" techniques, seem to have become widely disseminated, and were incorporated in the first comprehensively illustrated Renaissance treatise, Andreas Vesalius ' De humanicorporisfabrica, published in Basel in 1543. (Bambach, Carmen. "Anatomy in the Renaissance").
Example 2:Mona Lisa (ca. 1503–6 and later)
Leonardo has also been credited with the most famous portrait of all time, that of Lisa, wife of Francesco Del Giocondo, and known as the Mona Lisa (Paris, Louvre). This painting is said to have a mysterious effect to it because of the shadowing and light
