But the artist is not only a scientist, he must also 'invent', starting not with any external standard but with his own creativity:
"That divine power, which lies in the knowledge of the painter, transforms the mind of the painter into the likeness of the divine mind, for with a free hand he can produce different beings, animals, plants, fruits, landscapes, open fields, abysses, terrifying and fearful places' In Leonardo's drawing of 'A deluge' this power of 'invention' stands above any 'imitation. In a few square inches he brings in front of our eyes the terror of uncontrollable forces.
Man, as well as the water, is in the drawing, only not as a human figure but in the building which being desbecause Leonardo is a less religious thinker than Michelangelo that he starts from the necessity for a theory. As he writes:
'In fact, whatever exists in essence, in material form or in imagination, all this the artist has first in his mind and then in the work of his hand.' While Michelangelo still thinks of the ideal as lying outside himself, in God, Leonardo feels it as being his own creation, and so to transform the world to its ideal form he must first—practically-become master of himself.
To see the best of the drawings in this exhibition is to witness one of the essential steps of human consciousness on the road to scientifically understanding ourselves and our world. It is a humbling and exhilarating experience.
