- Leonardo da Vinci

About this Quote

This quote by Leonardo da Vinci highlights the important connection in between the spirit and creative development. According to da Vinci, true artistry is not simply an ability of the hand, but a harmonious collaboration in between the spirit and the hands. Creative expression needs more than technical proficiency; it requires the involvement of the soul. Da Vinci suggests that without this cooperation, there can be no authentic art. He suggests that real art stems from the innermost depths of our being, where our spirit engages with and guides our actions. Therefore, da Vinci highlights the significance of the artist's inner enthusiasm and motivation as drivers for producing meaningful and transcendent works.
