Zitate über Natur von Leonardo Da Vinci

„Ein Maler sollte jede Leinwand mit einem Hauch von Schwarz beginnen, da alle Dinge in der Natur dunkel sind, es sei denn, sie werden dem Licht ausgesetzt.“

Leonardo Da Vinci

„Wenn auch der menschliche Geist durch vielfache Erfindungen mit verschiedenen Instrumenten auf dasselbe Ziel zugeht, nie wird er eine Erfindung machen, die schöner, leichter und kürzer wäre als die Natur.“

Leonardo Da Vinci

Übersetzung: Marianne Schneider
Wörtlicher (und vollständiger): "Obwohl das menschliche Genie in verschiedenen Erfindungen mit verschiedenen Mitteln zu einem und demselben Ziel antwortet, wird es nie eine Erfindung weder schöner, noch leichter, noch kürzer als die der Natur finden, weil in ihren Erfindungen nichts fehlt und nichts überflüssig ist." - 1910/11? http://books.google.de/books?id=vVwXAQAAIAAJ&q=genie
Original: "Anchorachè lo ingiegnio vmano faccia inuentioni varie, rispondendo con uari strumenti a un medesimo fine, mai esso troverà inuentione più bella, né più facile, né più brieue della Natura, perché nelle sue invenzioni nulla manca e nulla è superfluo [...]" - Codex Windsor 19115r, Richter II no. 837 p. 126 books.google http://books.google.de/books?id=A7dUhbBfmzMC&pg=PA126.

„Und da ich von unbändigem Verlangen dorthin gezogen wurde, stets begierig, die ungeheure Fülle von allerlei seltsamen Formen zu schauen, welche die findige Natur geschaffen, so gelangte ich, nachdem ich eine Weile zwischen den düsteren Klippen umhergewandert war, zum Eingang einer großen Höhle, vor der ich staunend eine Zeitlang stehenblieb, weil ich nichts davon wußte. Mit gekrümmtem Rücken, die linke Hand auf das Knie gestützt und mit der rechten die gesenkte, gerunzelte Stirn überschattet, beugte ich mich immer wieder vor, bald dahin und bald dorthin, um zu sehen ob drinnen irgend etwas zu unterscheiden sei; aber daran wurde ich gehindert durch das tiefe Dunkel, das dort herrschte. Und nachdem ich eine Weile so davor gestanden hatte, regten sich plötzlich zwei Gefühle in mir, nämlich Furcht und Begierde: Furcht vor der düster drohenden Höhle und Begierde, zu erforschen, ob dort drinnen etwas Wunderbares sei…“

Original: "E tirato dalla mia bramosa voglia, vago di vedere la gran copia delle varie e strane forme fatte dalla artificiosa natura raggiratomi alquanto infra gli ombrosi scogli, pervenni all’entrata d’una caverna, dinanzi alla quale, restato alquanto stupefatto e ignorante di tal cosa, piegato le mie reni in arco, e ferma la stanca mano sopra il ginocchio e colla destra mi feci tenebre alle abbassate e chiuse ciglia, e spesso piegandomi in qua e in là per vedere dentro, vi discernessi alcuna cosa, e questo vietatomi per la grande oscurità che là entro era. È stato alquanto, subito s’alza in me due cose: paura e desiderio, paura per la minacciosa oscura spelonca, desiderio di vedere se là entro fosse alcuna miracolosa cosa." - Codex Arundel 155r, Richter II no. 1339 Zeile 16-27 p. 395 books.google http://books.google.de/books?id=A7dUhbBfmzMC&pg=PA395dq=tirato; englische Übersetzung von Richter auch bei en.wikisource https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/The_Notebooks_of_Leonardo_Da_Vinci/XXI.

Dort heißt es im sechsten Kapitel Tagebuch des Giovanni Boltraffio:
"Der Meister [Leonardo da Vinci] leidet es nicht, daß man einem lebenden Wesen irgendwelchen Schaden zufügt, selbst nicht den Pflanzen. Zoroastro erzählte mir, daß er schon seit seiner frühesten Jugend aus diesem Grunde kein Fleisch genießt: es werde eine Zeit kommen, meine er, da alle Menschen, gleich ihm, sich mit Pflanzenkost begnügen und das Schlachten der Tiere als ein ebenso großes Verbrechen ansehen würden wie den Mord an einem Menschen." - Übersetzt von H. von Hoerschelmann.

Zugrunde liegt dem Vasaris Darstellung von Leonardos Tod in den Armen des Königs Franz I., die in korrekter Übersetzung lautet:
"Er [Leonardo] richtete sich ehrfurchtsvoll auf, um im Bett zu sitzen, schilderte ihm sein Übel mit allen Umständen und klagte, daß er gegen Gott und die Menschen gefehlt habe, da er in der Kunst nichts getan hätte, wie es seine Pflicht gewesen wäre."
italienisch: "Egli per reverenza, rizzatosi a sedere sul letto, contando il mal suo e gli accidenti di quello, mostrava tuttavia, quanto aveva offeso Dio e gli uomini del mondo, non avendo operato nell' arte come si conveniva." - Giorgio Vasari: Le vite IV 36 vasari.sns.it http://vasari.sns.it/cgi-bin/vasari/Vasari-all?code_f=print_page&work=le_vite&volume_n=4&page_n=36
Diese Darstellung befand schon Jean Paul Richter 1883 in seiner Ausgabe der Schriften Leonardos für unglaubhaft und offensichtlich erfunden (incredible and demonstrably fictitious legend, Notebooks XIX 1.1 en.wikisource http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/The_Notebooks_of_Leonardo_Da_Vinci/XIX), eine Ansicht, der sich 1910 auch Sigmund Freud in seiner Schrift " Eine Kindheitserinnerung des Leonardo da Vinci http://www.hs-augsburg.de/~harsch/germanica/Chronologie/20Jh/Freud/fre_leo1.html#z04" anschloss.

“Swimming upon water teaches men how birds do upon the air.”

Leonardo Da Vinci

The Notebooks of Leonardo Da Vinci (1938), XVII Flight

“The Caladrius is a bird of which it is related that, when it is carried into the presence of a sick person, if the sick man is going to die, the bird turns away its head and never looks at him; but if the sick man is to be saved the bird never loses sight of him but is the cause of curing him of all his sickness. Like unto this is the love of virtue. It never looks at any vile or base thing, but rather clings always to pure and virtuous things and takes up its abode in a noble heart; as the birds do in green woods on flowery branches. And this Love shows itself more in adversity than in prosperity; as light does, which shines most where the place is darkest.”

The Notebooks of Leonardo Da Vinci (1938), XVII Flight

“And if you should say that the shells were carried by the waves, being empty and dead, I say that where the dead went they were not far removed from the living; for in these mountains living ones are found, which are recognisable by the shells being in pairs; and they are in a layer where there are no dead ones; and a little higher up they are found, where they were thrown by the waves, all the dead ones with their shells separated, near to where the rivers fell into the sea, to a great depth; like the Arno which fell from the Gonfolina near to Monte Lupo, where it left a deposit of gravel which may still be seen, and which has agglomerated; and of stones of various districts, natures, and colours and hardness, making one single conglomerate. And a little beyond the sandstone conglomerate a tufa has been formed, where it turned towards Castel Florentino; farther on, the mud was deposited in which the shells lived, and which rose in layers according to the levels at which the turbid Arno flowed into that sea. And from time to time the bottom of the sea was raised, depositing these shells in layers, as may be seen in the cutting at Colle Gonzoli, laid open by the Arno which is wearing away the base of it; in which cutting the said layers of shells are very plainly to be seen in clay of a bluish colour, and various marine objects are found there. And if the earth of our hemisphere is indeed raised by so much higher than it used to be, it must have become by so much lighter by the waters which it lost through the rift between Gibraltar and Ceuta; and all the more the higher it rose, because the weight of the waters which were thus lost would be added to the earth in the other hemisphere. And if the shells had been carried by the muddy deluge they would have been mixed up, and separated from each other amidst the mud, and not in regular steps and layers — as we see them now in our time.”

“Now you see that the hope and the desire of returning home and to one's former state is like the moth to the light, and that the man who with constant longing awaits with joy each new spring time, each new summer, each new month and new year — deeming that the things he longs for are ever too late in coming — does not perceive that he is longing for his own destruction. But this desire is the very quintessence, the spirit of the elements, which finding itself imprisoned with the soul is ever longing to return from the human body to its giver. And you must know that this same longing is that quintessence, inseparable from nature, and that man is the image of the world.”
