About this Event
We invite you to participate in a compelling roundtable discussion exploring Leonardo da Vinci's concept of sensazione, which emphasizes the significance of sensory experience and perception in the creation of art and scientific understanding. This session will delve into how da Vinci harnessed the power of the senses to inform his artistic representations and his scientific inquiries, ultimately shaping a more profound comprehension of the world around him.
We will examine how sensazione influenced da Vinci's techniques in painting—such as the use of color, texture, and light—as well as his meticulous observations of the natural world. The discussion will highlight how da Vinci’s emphasis on sensory experience enriched his work, leading to more realistic and emotionally resonant art, while also grounding his scientific explorations in firsthand observations.
Attendees will be encouraged to engage in discussions about the role of perception in their own fields and how a greater awareness of sensory experiences can inform creative and scientific practices today. The roundtable will explore the interplay between art and science, seeking to uncover how both disciplines can benefit from an enhanced understanding of human perception.
Join us in celebrating Leonardo da Vinci's legacy of sensazione and exploring the vital role that sensory experience plays in enriching our understanding of both the artistic and scientific realms.
