  • By Leonardo Da Vinci
    European Scientific Journal May 2020 edition Vol.16, No.14 ISSN: 1857-7881 (Print) e - ISSN 1857-7431 Neuroanatomical interpretation of Peter Paul Rubens’s copy of ,,The Battle of Anghiari’’ by Leonardo da Vinci Grigol Keshelava, MD, PhD Department of Vascular Surgery, Caucasus Medical Center, Tbilisi, Georgia Doi:10.19044/esj.2020.v16n14p8 URL:http://dx.doi.org/10.19044/esj.2020.v16n14p8 Abstract The object of this research is a drawing by Peter Paul Rubens, a copy of ,,The Battle of Anghiari’’ performed by Leonardo da Vinci in 1503-1506. This work, dating from 1603, was based on an engraving of 1553 by Lorenzo Zacchia, which was taken from a cartoon by Leonardo da Vinci. The original fresco itself is lost. Since the individual details of the drawing matched the anatomical elements of the human brain we decided to perform an anatomical interpretation. With the help of the program Paint X we were able to move 23 elements of the drawing. The comparison revealed the similarity between the details of the obtained image and the anatomical elements of the brain. Our research shows that the Peter Paul Rubens’s copy of ,,The Battle of Anghiari’’ by Leonardo da Vinci is a harmonious mix of Art and Anatomy. We have established that the copy of the lost fresco, which was created six centuries ago, includes double content. By moving 23 details of the drawing in which the battle is depicted, an image is obtained. This image accurately describe the anatomical elements of the brain in the lateral view. Keywords: Leonardo da Vinci; brain anatomy; Battle of Anghiari Introduction Ancient medical practitioners had contradictory views about the significance of the brain.

The aim of this study was to analyze and evaluate the differences and similarities in the spatial structure of Cittaslow towns in the Italian regions of Tuscany and Umbria and the Polish region of Warmia and Mazury. The study examined historical towns which are situated in different parts of Europe and have evolved in different cultural and natural environments. The presented research attempts to determine whether the spatial structure of historical towns established in different European regions promotes the dissemination of the Cittaslow philosophy and the adoption of sustainable development principles. The urban design, architectural features and the composition of urban and architectural factors which Citation: Zagroba, M.; are largely responsible for perceptions of multi-dimensional space were evaluated. These goals were Pawlewicz, K.; Senetra, A. Analysis achieved with the use of a self-designed research method which supported a subjective evaluation and Evaluation of the Spatial of spatial structure defined by historical urban planning and architectural solutions.
