The genius of Leonardo

With the advance of medicine, the high-tech world we live in and the presence of photography, CAT scans and other sophisticated equipment that diagnoses health-related problems, it is absolutely fascinating to see these paintings or designs created 500 years ago. These are sketches by Leonardo da Vinci known as Leonardo's Journals, some of which are displayed in Windsor Castle, England. 

They show the intricate way in which Leonardo sketched sections and parts of the human body. And this was done 550 years ago! Enjoy these sketches of anatomical precision and detail of the human body.
