Leonardo and the High Renaissance

 Leonardo da Vinci initiates the style known as the High Renaissance. How does Leonardo’s work show a transition from the Early Renaissance to the High Renaissance? Discuss your answer in both stylistic and intellectual terms. You may wish to consider: What does Leonardo abandon as obsolete, or, what new concerns, interests, techniques, does he see as forward-thinking and superior to the practices of the Early Renaissance?

 Part 2: Can any of Leonardo’s works be interpreted in light of Pico’s philosophy on the dignity of the human being? Or is he more inclined toward the concepts of Aristotle? Make your case by providing examples and/or excerpts and resources as needed.
