Podcasts about Leonardo da Vinci

Raphael's years in Florence (c. 1504–1508) placed him at the center of one of the most extraordinary moments in Renaissance art, where he encountered both Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo at the height of their powers. Under the Soderini Republic, Florence became a stage for artistic innovation, marked by Michelangelo's David, Leonardo's Mona Lisa, and the unrealized battle frescoes commissioned for the Palazzo Vecchio.This episode explores how Raphael absorbed and transformed the lessons of these two rival masters. From Leonardo, he adopted naturalism, portrait composition, and sfumato; from Michelangelo, monumental form, line, and color. Yet Raphael forged a distinctive style defined by harmony, clarity, and balance, culminating in works such as the Maddalena Doni portraits and the Madonna of the Goldfinch before his departure to Rome under the patronage of Pope Julius II.Watch/Support/Learn: https://linktr.ee/italian_renaissance_podcastWorks Discussed: Michelangelo, David, 1501-1504 https://www.galleriaaccademiafirenze.it/opere/david-michelangelo/Leonardo da Vinci, Mona Lisa, 1503-19 https://collections.louvre.fr/en/ark:/53355/cl010062370Leonardo da Vinci, The Battle of Anghiari, unfinished, lost. Michelangelo, The Battle of Cascina, unfinished. Raphael, Portraits of Agnolo and Maddalena Doni, 1504-07 https://www.uffizi.it/en/artworks/portraits-doni-raffaelloRaphael, Madonna of the Goldfinch, 1506 https://www.uffizi.it/en/artworks/mary-christ-and-the-young-john-the-baptist-known-as-the-madonna-of-the-goldfinchThe Florentine Renaissance CourseSupport the show

¿Cómo los perros se convirtieron en nuestros compañeros?, la historia de los cesares , envenenamiento por plomo, Leonardo Da Vinci en el Renacimiento.

If you follow the English Premier League, you will know that Arsenal won the Premier League title a couple of weeks ago.  It's been a tough 6-year journey for their manager, Mikel Arteta, but what stood out is that no matter how hard things got, Arteta stuck to the standards he set at the club and, more importantly, focused on following his plan.  He knew that to take Arsenal back to the top, there had to be a plan, and to ensure the plan was followed, standards needed to be set. In this week's episode, we're looking at how your standards matter and why having a plan to fall back on will always give you clarity, focus and make better decision-making easier.   Links: Email Me | Twitter | Facebook | Website | Linkedin   Learn more about the Quiet Productivity Method here Get Your Copy Of Your Time, Your Way: Time Well Managed, Life Well Lived The Working With… Weekly Newsletter Carl Pullein Learning Centre Carl's YouTube Channel Carl Pullein Coaching Programmes Subscribe to my Substack  The Working With… Podcast Previous episodes page Script | 419 Hello, and welcome to episode 419 of the Your Time, Your Way Podcast. A podcast to answer all your questions about productivity, time management, self-development, and goal planning. My name is Carl Pullein, and I am your host of this show.  If you've followed me for any length of time, you will know I have written and spoken a lot about having standards.  Standards for how Long it takes you to respond to emails and messages, and how you manage your calendar, for example.  It's the standards you set for yourself that will ensure that you do the right things day after day. That if things go wrong, you have something to fall back on that feels familiar and keeps you doing the right things.  My communication standard is to respond to emails within 24 hours. This means that no matter how busy I am, if I have an actionable email I have not responded to that is approaching the 24-hour limit, I will do whatever it takes to respond, even if that means working a little extra time at the end of the day.  This week's question is related to these approaches. So to get us started, let me hand you over to the Mystery Podcast Voice for this week's question. This week's question comes from Sonya. Sonya asks, Hi Carl, I love COD and the Time Sector System. Both have really helped me to get much more focused on what matters to me. But what frustrates me is that I still have too many days when I procrastinate and don't get what I want done. How do you stay so consistent?  Hi Sonya, thank you for your question. As I alluded to, it comes down to the standards you set for yourself. I know that sounds easy, and I know it is not, but the standards you set are what help you push through when you are not in the right frame of mind to do what needs to be done.  Let me explain.  It can be very tempting, when you have just finished reading a book or have taken a course, to be full of enthusiasm to change things.  And that's not a bad thing. But it's important to be realistic when setting up your processes and new way of doing things.  If you were to set up a two-hour closing-down routine at the end of each day, you would fail. It's too long.  Similarly, I've seen people get excited by the idea of having a solid morning routine. Then they add so many things to their morning routine that it takes them two or three hours to complete them.  That's never going to promote consistency. There will inevitably be days when you cannot complete those routines, and then you get it into your head that you're a failure or that having routines doesn't work for you. Neither of which is true.  The place to begin is with your non-negotiables. What must happen every day, no matter what?  I know many people, for instance, who will not go to bed until all the dishes have been washed and put away.  That might seem a small thing, but to the people who do that, it is their standard. They couldn't imagine going to bed without doing it.  One standard I try to get my coaching clients to follow is to do a five-minute daily planning session before they end their day.  That planning session is to review your calendar for appointments, look at your list of tasks, make sure it is realistic and to decide what your two must-do tasks will be.  That's it. Five minutes tops.  This is a realistic planning session. You can do it from your sofa and on your phone if necessary.  Once you have set it as a standard, you do this every day, including weekends and holidays. Now, weekends and holidays are easier. You will likely have fewer tasks and appointments, but it's a standard. You do it anyway.  Consistency can be hard when you don't have any clear standards. Yet, those standards need to be realistic.  One way to do this is to set minimums.  Imagine you decide to read a book every day. Now, I've seen people set very unrealistic targets here. This usually begins with deciding to read something like 50 books per year, which is then broken down into reading a book a week.  So far so good.  But what happens if you read something like Andrew Roberts' book on Winston Churchill or Walter Isaacson's biography of Leonardo Da Vinci? Both are over 1,000 pages. Those books will take you longer than a week to read.  That's why this kind of target setting is wrong.  Let's start with what your purpose is here. Is it to read a set number of books? If so, choose short books, and you'll hit your target. But it's more likely that you want to build the habit of reading. This means it doesn't matter how many books you read in any given year. All that matters is that you spend time reading each day.  So set a realistic minimum.  If you were to set the target at reading for a minimum of twenty minutes each day, it would not be long before you settled into a routine and just did your reading.  What happens is that the books you get into and enjoy reading, you'll read for longer than twenty minutes. Slower, harder books will likely have you reading for twenty minutes. That's fine; you're still reading. You did what you set out to do, and after twenty minutes, you can stop.  That's a realistic standard to set for yourself and one likely to become a non-negotiable.  Incidentally, you can do this with exercise and dealing with your messages. Set a daily minimum amount of time you will spend doing these activities.  And I should say there is some psychology behind the twenty-minute minimum. If you were to tell yourself you will spend an hour on a particular activity every day, your brain will push back.  On the days you are feeling tired, a little sick or ‘just not in the mood', that one hour will feel like an eternity. Twenty minutes, on the other hand, seems achievable, no matter how you feel. Remember, it's a minimum. Once you've done your twenty minutes, you can stop. Often you won't, but you can if you are still not feeling up to it.  I do this with my emails and messages. I like to finish my day with all actionable messages cleared. But there are days when, for one reason or another, I cannot do so. I then apply the twenty-minute minimum.  I tell myself I will spend twenty minutes clearing as many as I can.  It's this standard that makes it easy to keep on top of messages.  I began this episode by explaining how Arsenal's manager, Mikel Arteta, turned around the club by setting non-negotiable standards.  Arteta's attitude is that if you cannot accept these standards, then you're out the door. It's as simple as that.  And I saw this with Manchester United's former manager, a brilliant manager, Alex Ferguson. Ferguson took over the management of Manchester United in 1986. On his arrival, he set about setting some very high standards at the club.  It took around four years, but by setting those standards, Manchester United turned the 1990s into Manchester United's greatest generation.  Change is hard. It's particularly hard to stick to your new set of standards when things don't seem to be improving. When there's no immediate payoff.  Your old habits don't want to die, and they will fight to stay around. This is why trying to change everything all at once almost always fails.  Instead, start small. Daily planning is an easy place to start because all you are doing is reviewing your appointments for the next day, ensuring your list of tasks is realistic, and identifying your must-do tasks.  With practice, you will be able to do this in about two minutes, and the more you practice, the more you see the benefits of having clarity on what must be done and where you need to be each day.  From there, add in a weekly planning session. This is where you set your plan for the week and decide your objectives. It is not about reviewing all your tasks and projects. You're not reviewing, you're planning. Reviewing is entirely different.  The best time to review a project is when you've just finished working on it. The project is fresh in your mind, and you will know precisely what needs to happen next.  It's by having a plan that you will find you procrastinate less. You don't become frozen by the number of things you need to do. You know what your objectives are for the week, and you will do what needs to be done to accomplish them.  Commit to your plan, and you will have the energy to push towards it. Without a plan, you'll procrastinate because all you will see is a mountain of work to do, and you have no idea what to do or where to start.  Let me show you this in action:  Imagine you have thousands of emails in your email inbox, and you are desperate to get it under control and clean it out. But the sheer size of it freezes you. Where do you start? What would be the best way to go about it? And you'll be thinking this will take forever.  But what if you decided to start with the oldest ones and spend a minimum of 20 minutes a day on this project until it's done?  Let's be honest, if you've got thousands of emails in your inbox, it doesn't really matter where you start. You've just got to start somewhere.  Twenty minutes a day, from the oldest to the newest. Now that's a plan. And you'll find that by starting with the oldest first, you'll be deleting a lot. Most of what you have will be out of date, moved on or already resolved. That builds momentum, which in itself generates energy.  If you'd like to learn more about setting your non-negotiables, having a plan for the day and a set of clear objectives for the week, my recently released Quiet Productivity Method programme will help you.  It's packed with ideas like these, along with the right set of tools to give you clarity, focus, and a sense of calm throughout your day.  I'll leave a link in the show notes for you to learn more about this immersive programme.  Thank you, Sonya, for your question, and I hope this answer has helped.  Thank you also to you for listening, and it just remains for me now to wish you a very, very productive week.

Crafting paper planes is said to have originated out of ancient China, but the art is said to have been perfected out of Japan. In the late 1400's/early 1500's Leonardo Da Vinci sketches gliders, often specifying parchment and lightweight materials. By the early 1900's Wilbur and Orville Wright conduct extensive experiments with small paper and cardboard models, refining wing shapes and control systems that would lead to their successful powered flights at Kitty Hawk in 1903. In 2007 The inaugural Red Bull Paper Wings competition brings together students from dozens of countries to compete in distance, airtime, and aerobatics, formalizing paper airplane flying as an international sport.

It took a while for women to enter the salesforce, but once they did, oooh, watch out. Mary Kay, in particular, had a genius for sales, which she turned into an empire that exists to this day. Although the company largely sells skin care, Mary Kay also sold inspiration, a better life, transformation. As a pop-historical figure, she's part self-help guru, part social media influencer, part girlboss — but entirely a self-made woman.We talk about the resilience of 20th-century women who cared less about having the correct politics and more about feeding their family, the line between opportunity and exploitation, and (of course) those pink Cadillacs.Also discussed:* “I like women.

A spiritual school in Victoria teaches that we each have a spiritual guide who we can rely on to help us through life, and that the couple who run the school – Ian and Pearl Rogers – sit on a council alongside entities who have lived many lifetimes before this one. Students are lucky enough to gain access to incredible knowledge through this council, which boasts Leonardo Da Vinci, Mahatma Gandhi, and Lady Di amongst its members. But forum posts dating back to 2012 allege that Sphinx Spiritual has been operating as a cult for many years. It's only now that former members have started speaking out.Part 2 is already available to Patreon supporters, and will be released on the main feed on Wednesday 27 May.Full research sources listed here.

Lonardo da Vinci war 64 Jahre alt, als er 1516 auf einem Maultier über die Alpen an die Loire ritt. Hier quartierte der französische König ihn in einem Schloss ein: Château du Clos Lucé. Warum es durch einen Geheimgng mit dem Schloss des Königs verbunden war und wieso die Treppe, die Leonardo da Vinci hier für ein ganz neues Schloss des Königs – Chambord – erfand, so visionär war: Das erzählen dir Kathrin Sander und Inka Schmeling, die beiden Hosts des plazy-Podcasts "places to go", in dieser Episode.

In dieser Episode von Lecker KUNST: leicht verständlich erklären wir die teuersten Kunstwerke der Welt – vom legendären Salvator Mundi von Leonardo da Vinci bis zu Meisterwerken von Jackson Pollock, Cézanne und Gauguin.

“Jerusalén, siglo I. La pascua se acerca y Jesús de Nazaret está a punto de ser entregado en manos de los hombres para ser juzgado y condenado a muerte. Al menos, así se lo ha manifestado a sus más allegados. Aun así, quiere entrar en Jerusalén y enfrentarse a escribas y fariseos, lo que para sus discípulos supondrá un camino sin retorno.A pesar de las amenazas del Sanedrín y de Roma, el carpintero de Galilea tiene claro su propósito. Sin embargo, y bajo la atenta mirada de un centurión que se debate entre el deber y la fe, dos de las personas más importantes de su vida están destinadas a cambiar el curso de los acontecimientos para siempre: uno de sus mejores amigos, Judas, aquel llamado a ser el hombre más odiado de la humanidad, y su madre, María, aquella que se convertirá en la mujer más amada de la historia.”Recibimos en la Nabucodonosor al escritor, presentador Christian Gálvez, autor de He vencido al mundo (Ed.

Leonardo Da Vinci was one of the greatest minds in history. He painted some of the most famous works of art ever: the Mona Lisa, Last Supper, and more. He was also a scientist, an engineer, an anatomist, and an inventor. He is often described as the perfect example of a “Renaissance man.” A Renaissance man is someone who is skilled in many different areas, especially during the time of the Renaissance. The Renaissance was a period of history when art, science, and learning were rapidly developing across Europe. In today's episode, we're going to explore the life of Leonardo da Vinci. Who exactly was he? What were his greatest achievements? Can we really call him a scientist? And does his legacy still matter today, more than 500 years after his death? And we'll do this while practicing our English listening comprehension and learning some new vocabulary!

If you judge him by his own elaborate metrics, Leonardo da Vinci was a failure. Long before the Mona Lisa became shorthand for genius, Leonardo imagined himself as something else entirely: a military engineer, a designer of bridges and armoured vehicles, a master of siegecraft and architecture. In 1482, he wrote a breathless letter to Ludovico Sforza, Duke of Milan, itemising these talents with bravado and noting, quickly, that oh, he could paint, too. Many of his boldest designs never left the page, or arrived centuries too early to be built. By his own standards, the future-facing polymath fell short. In this episode, Elizabeth Day and Dan Jones roam through history's workshops, laboratories, monasteries, and battlefields to ask what failure really looks like. From Leonardo's unrealised machines to Antonie van Leeuwenhoek's accidental discovery of microbiology, from champagne's explosive beginnings to gunpowder's grim transformation, they trace how curiosity, misjudgement, and wrong turns can quietly reshape the world. What emerges is a gentler, stranger truth: failure is often just invention, waiting for the world to catch up. – As always, Dan's royal favourites can chime in anytime on the royal court on Patreon at patreon.com/thisishistory.

Jace welcomes returning creaor Richard Ashley Hamilton to discuss Leo Da Vinci: Renaissance Kid, a graphic novel that reimagines a young Leonardo da Vinci as an adventurous and inventive kid while drawing from real historical elements of his life. The conversation covers the inspiration behind portraying Da Vinci as a mischievous and empathetic protagonist, the balance between factual history and fictional storytelling, and how the Renaissance setting mirrors modern-day experiences for younger readers. Jace and Richard also explore the artistic work of Marco Matrone, the accessibility of the graphic novel format as a gateway for new readers, and how the story encourages curiosity about history through engaging, character-driven storytelling rather than traditional educational approaches.

— Vieni a vedere! — gridò un uccellino al suo compagno. — Ci sono quattro teneri vermicelli che giocano sopra una foglia! — Infatti, proprio ai quattro lati di una foglia, stavano quattro piccoli vermicelli, che si drizzavano dimenandosi e contorcendosi. Quell'uccellino non poté resistere alla tentazione di mangiare quei vermi, tanto teneri e ben nutriti da sembrare squisiti, e così si precipitò giù per catturarli, beccarli e divorarli. L'altro uccellino lo vide puntare dritto e deciso verso la foglia, poi lo sentì cinguettare disperato; e subito vide le penne del suo compagno arruffate, le sue ali sbattere forte forte a vuoto: la foglia si arrotolò a poco a poco intorno all'uccellino suo compagno, finché, di sotto la foglia, apparve la terribile Cerasta. La Cerasta è una vipera, assai feroce e spietata. Ha gli occhi su quattro piccole corna mobili, e quando si vuol sfamare, nasconde sotto le foglie tutto il corpo, tranne quei minuscoli quattro cornetti; e muovendoli fa credere agli uccelli che siano vermicelli saporiti, e quando quei poveretti pennuti ignari si precipitano giù per catturarli, subito la Cerasta li stringe forte a se e li divora.

Is your son ready to face life?Would you like him to be?Giving your son challenges to overcome strengthens him to take on more.  Hiking a misty morning trail, sweating and pushing himself on the football field, or learning the thrill of shooting his kayak down a roaring rapid, powering through the river with eager strokes all build in him a mindset of success to overcome what life brings him.Leonardo DaVinci once said, “Obstacles cannot crush me.  Every obstacle yields to stern resolve. He who is fixed to a star does not change his mind.”Give your son the opportunity to succeed.  Carefully select challenges to push him and show him how strong he really is.For more information about raising your son into a godly man, visit Trail Life USA or RaisingGodlyBoys.com.

Great artwork is a mirror, reflecting our own emotions back to us, allowing us to view and examine them from another angle. Leonardo Da Vinci's painting, The Last Supper, clearly shows a full range of human emotion - But how can this famous work of art shed new light on a familiar story? Join us this Sunday, March 15th as we begin a new series called “Inspired by” where we study works of art inspired by Jesus's final days and uncover what they have to teach us about Jesus, the disciples, and ourselves.

Take a peek inside a museum where Leonardo da Vinci's ideas take shape. Dave Moore gets a preview of the new Leonardo da Vinci Museum of North America with tour guide Craig Eliot. This entire exhibit is made possible by the Artisans of Florence. They bring da Vinci's original sketches to life.Their team of historians, engineers, and master craftsmen had spent decades translating da Vinci's notebooks into fully functional machines that remain true to the original scale, mechanics, and materials. However they also incorporate 21st century technology like virtual reality, holograms and artificial intelligence. Work on the museum was still going on at the time of this recording. So you'll hear some construction and other noises in the background.  Dave speaks to a handful of people doing work along the way. They include: Bonnie Waugh, artist Joe Arrigo, Founder & Executive Director  Tom Rizzo, Artisans of Florence Paulo Gori, Artisans of Florence Joel Carpenter, artist doing Last Supper Some of the exhibits include: Flight & ImaginationMachines & RoboticsWater & PowerThe Human Body as Machine These exhibits also appear in major museums across Europe — and in North America, it can be experienced only here in Pueblo.The plan is for the museum to open May 2026. Tap here to see collage of photos.

Él pintaría en el comedor del importante convento femenino Santa Maria Delle Grazie la esperada escena de la crucifixión de Cristo. Cobró caro, pero hizo exactamente lo que le pidieron.Al mismo tiempo, sin embargo, un desconocido artista también fue contratado para hacer otra pintura en la pared opuesta (mucho más modesta, a propósito): La última cena de Jesús con los discípulos. Cuatro años después, el mundo vería a este «pintor de segunda categoría» como el mayor genio artístico de la historia de la humanidad. Así surgiría el célebre Leonardo da Vinci, quien inmortalizó aquel lugar con una de sus obras más conocidas.Se cuenta que nadie podía creer cómo Da Vinci consiguió representar la ilusión de profundidad en 3D con las hermosas colinas del Milán de la época. Como el comedor no tenía ventanas al exterior, La última cena brindó lo impensable a quienes comían dentro: una comida en compañía de Cristo con vistas a las montañas italianas.Hoy en día, para visitar este preciosísimo convento, es necesario realizar la reserva dos meses antes y pagar más de 70 euros para mirar 15 minutos las dos paredes del comedor. En la Segunda Guerra Mundial, las bombas explotaban allí y destruyeron casi todo, menos estas dos pinturas. Lo interesante es que nadie se pone a mirar la Crucifixión, cuya belleza fue eclipsada por la extraordinaria belleza de La última cena de Leonardo Da Vinci.Cuando estuve allí, comprobé en persona cómo la innovación talentosa es capaz de superar la tradición de la monotonía. La genialidad de la vida radica en hacer de manera diferente lo que todo el mundo hace igual. Si todos hacen goles de la misma manera, ¿por qué no intentamos dar un pase nuevo? ¿Y en la rutina para estudiar, la apatía para ayudar a los padres o la indiferencia al hacer el culto? ¿Y si nos atrevemos a volver a inventar la rueda? ¿Por qué no le pedimos a Jesús más sabiduría y creatividad?Durante el día de hoy, atrévete a hacer como Leonardo da Vinci: viaja en las alas de una imaginación diferente y sorprende al mundo con un Dios encantador. Será fantástico probar algo nuevo, y no por eso malo. Con Jesús descubrirás cosas increíbles y entrarás en la historia grande, la historia eterna.

In this episode of Biographers in Conversation's special summer season, Dr Stephen J. Campbell chats with Dr Gabriella Kelly-Davies about his choices while crafting Leonardo da Vinci: An Untraceable Life. Here's what you'll discover in this episode: Why Stephen Campbell resists the urge to create a seamless narrative and instead embraces the mystery, silence and gaps in Leonardo da Vinci's story. How the book's structure reflects the fragmented reality of Leonardo's life. The origin of the book's title and how it challenges traditional biographical expectations by leaning into ambiguity. How Campbell uses philosophical chapter titles and historical nuance to explore mythmaking and modern interpretations of Leonardo da Vinci. Why Campbell avoids speculation and instead invites readers to sit with what we don't know, treating uncertainty as revealing rather than inconvenient. The biographer's role as a curator of questions rather than authority, a model of life writing that prioritises transparency over certainty. The myths the book gently dismantles, from the lonely genius trope to misconceptions about Leonardo's inventions and personality. How An Untraceable Life encourages us to rethink what biography can be and to rediscover awe in the unresolvable aspects of a life.

Have you ever wished you could sit down with someone who has truly mastered their craft? Michael Jordan on winning; Mozart on music; Leonardo Da Vinci on creativity. Not just to review their highlight reels but to unpack all the lessons they learned across their lives? Well, that's what today's conversation feels like because today we get to listen to John C Maxwell talk about leadership.   John Maxwell is a world-renowned leadership expert and best-selling author who has trained countless leaders across industries and across the globe. It's no exaggeration to say that he has helped define the shape of modern leadership. John's life is an example of what can happen when someone stays curious, humble and committed to growth for decades, and there also something truly about getting to learn from someone who has run their race well and stayed faithful to growth over the long haul. John was honored as a GLN Legacy Leader at the 2025 global leadership Summit, and he sat down with our president and CEO, David Ashcraft for a conversation in front of a live studio audience about what a lifetime of leadership looks like.

A podcast to answer all your questions about productivity, time management, self-development, and goal planning. My name is Carl Pullein, and I am your host of this show.  15 years ago, I remember being excited to find Ian Fleming's explanation of how to write a thriller. I saved the text of that article from the Internet directly into Evernote. As I look back, I think that is probably my favourite piece of text that I've saved in my notes over the years. This morning I did a little experiment. I asked Gemini what Ian Fleming‘s advice is for writing a thriller. Within seconds, Gemini gave me not only the original text but also a summary and bullet points of the main points.  Does this mean that many of the things we have traditionally saved in our digital notes today are no longer needed? I'm not so sure. It's this and many similar uses of our digital note-taking applications that may no longer be necessary And that nicely brings me on to this week's topic, and that means it's time for me to hand you over to the Mystery Podcast Voice for this week's question. This week's question comes from Ricardo. Ricardo asks, Could you discuss more about note-taking in your podcast, as I have difficulties regarding how to collect and store what's important? Hi Ricardo. Thank you for your question.  When digital note-taking apps began appearing on our mobile phones around 2009, they were a revelation.  Prior to this innovation, we carried around notebooks and collected our thoughts, meeting notes and plans in them.  Yet, given our human frailties, most of these notebooks were lost, and even if they were not, it was difficult to find the right notebook with the right notes.  Some people were good at storing these. Many journalists and scientists were excellent at keeping these records organised. As were many artists.  And we are very lucky that they did because many years later, those notebooks are still available to us. You can see Charles Darwin's and Isaac Newton's notebooks today. Many of which are kept at the Athenaeum Club in London, and others are in museums around the world.  It was important in the days before the Internet to keep these notebooks safe. They contained original thoughts, scientific processes and information that, as in Charles Darwin's and Isaac Newton's case, would later form part of a massive scientific breakthrough.  Darwin's journey on HMS Beagle was a defining moment in scientific history. It provided the raw data and observations that would eventually lead to his theory of evolution by natural selection.  That was published some twenty years after his journey in his book On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection.  During Darwin's five-year journey around the world, he filled 15 field notebooks with observations and sketches—these were roughly the same size as the iconic Field Notes pocket notebooks you can buy today.  Additionally, he kept several Geological Specimen Notebooks. These were slightly larger than his field notes notebooks. He used these primarily to catalogue the fossils and rocks he collected Darwin also kept a large journal during his travels, which he used to record data and incidents.  These were all original thoughts and observations.  Today, all that information is freely available on the internet and, of course, in books.  What's more, with AI tools such as Gemini and ChatGPT, finding this information today is easy. I, like many people today, rarely use internet searches for information. I simply ask Gemini.  This means there's no point in saving this information in my digital notes. All my searches are saved within the Gemini app, as they are in ChatGPT and Claude.  But your original thoughts, ideas and project notes are unique. It's these you want to keep in your digital notes.  Much like Charles Darwin and Isaac Newton wrote down their thoughts and observations, your thoughts, observations and ideas should be collected and stored.  When Darwin travelled on the Beagle, he was 22 years old. When he published The Origin of Species, he was 45.  And perhaps, like Darwin, not all your ideas today will have an immediate practical purpose. But if you don't keep them, they never will. This is why it's important to keep them where you can find them later.  And that's where our digital tools today are so much better than the paper notebooks we kept. We can find anything, any time, from any digital device we have on hand.  I remember reading Leonardo Da Vinci's biography, and he often travelled to other parts of Italy. If he needed to reference a note he had made—and he made copious notes—and he did not have the right notebook with him on his travels, it would have taken him days to retrieve the information.  We don't have that problem today.  So, when it comes to collecting, be ruthless in what you keep.  I have a notebook in my notes app called “Suppliers”. This is where I store the names of the companies I regularly buy things from.  For example, I get my clothing from several preferred retailers. I buy my woollen jumpers (sweaters) from Cordings of Piccadilly. In the note I have for Cordings, are my sizes and the website address.  This makes it easy for me to find what I am looking for and order. I use Apple's Password app to store my login details, so once I have found what I want, I can order it very quickly.  Amazon makes this even easier with a “Buy It Again” section, so if I am running low on Yorkshire Tea, I go to Amazon, click Buy It Again, and within a few seconds, I see Yorkshire Tea and can order straight away.  Ten years ago, I kept all that information in my notes. Today, I don't bother as it's faster to go directly to Amazon.  Another use I have for my digital notes is to keep all my client meeting notes. Each week, I will have around fifteen to twenty calls with clients, and I keep notes for each call as I write feedback, which I send to the client after the call.  These are unique notes, and each one will be different, so using the Darwin/Newton principle—keeping thoughts, ideas and observations in your notes—they will be kept in my notes in a notebook called “clients”. What's great about this is I have over eight years' worth of client notes in Evernote, which feed ideas for future content as they're directly relatable to real experiences and difficulties.  Another useful note to have in your notes is something called an “Anchor Note”. This is a note where you keep critical information you may need at any particular time.  For example, I keep all the subscriber links to my various websites there, which can be quickly copied and pasted whenever needed.  I also have the Korean Immigration office website there, since it's not easy to find, and I only need it every 3 or 4 years.  Depending on how security-conscious you are, you can also keep your Social Security and driving license numbers there, too.  How you organise your notes depends on you and how your brain works. However, the more complex your organisational system, the slower you will be at finding what you need.  Now this is where computers come into their own. Whether you use Apple, Google or Microsoft, all these companies have built incredible search functionality into the core of their systems.  This means as long as you give your note a title that means something to you, you will be able to find it in five or ten years' time.  I remember once my wife asked me for a password to a Korean website I had not used in ten years or more. I couldn't remember it, and I didn't have the password stored in my old password manager, 1Password.  As a long shot, I typed the name of the website into Evernote—the note-taking app I've been using for almost fifteen years—and within a second, the website with my login details was on my screen.  If I'd tried to find that information by going through my notebooks and tags, I would never have found it. I let Evernote handle the hard work, and it did so superbly.  However, that said, there is something about having some basic structure to your notes. I use a structure I call GAPRA. GAPRA stands for Goals, Areas of Focus, Projects, Resources and Archive. It's loosely based on Tiago Forte's PARA method.  I find having separate places for my goals, areas of focus and projects makes it easier for me to navigate things when I am creating a note.  My goals section is for tracking data. For instance, if I were losing weight, I would record my weight each week there.  My areas of focus notebook is where I keep my definitions of my areas and what they mean to me, and it gives me a single place to review these every six months.  My project notebook is where I keep all my notes for my current projects.  The biggest notebook I have, though, is my resources notebook. This is a catch-all for everything else. My supplier's notebook is there, as is information about different cities I travel to or may travel to in the future. As I look at that notebook now, Paris is the note that has the most information. (Although Osaka in Japan is getting close to it)  I also have places to visit in Korea that I keep for when my mother visits—which she does every year—so I can build a different itinerary for her each year.  The archive is for old notes. I'm not by nature a hoarder, but I do find it reassuring that anything I have created is still there and still searchable.  And that's it, Ricardo.  You don't need to keep anything that is findable on the internet or in AI; that's duplication. But what I would highly recommend you keep are your original ideas, thoughts, and meeting notes (even if they are being summarised by AI. How AI interprets what's been said is not always what was meant)  And if, like me, you prefer to take handwritten notes, you can scan them into your digital notes app so you have a quick reference even if you don't have your paper notebook with you.  I hope that helps, and thank you for your question, Ricardo. And thank you to you, too, for listening.  It just remains for me now to wish you all a very, very productive week.

Host Natalie Grueninger interviews Dr Stephen Campbell about Leonardo da Vinci's life, work, and the myths that surround him. They explore his early years in Florence, his Milanese network, anatomical studies, and his later years in France. The conversation examines common misconceptions, highlights key works such as 'The Last Supper' and the 'Sala delle Asse', and considers why Leonardo's fragmented biography continues to captivate modern audiences.

Author Marty Neumeier discusses his new thriller, Octavo. This didactic novel delves into the nature of creativity while spinning a thrilling tale through two storylines. One is set during the Renaissance and follows the last pupil of Leonardo DaVinci who writes an adventurous account of the lengths he and DaVinci go through to get DaVinci's notebooks published. There is a mystery surrounding why and how the notebooks fail to be published, and Marty's tale shows DaVinci in the role of detective, trying to solve the mystery. The second storyline is set in modern times and features two art authenticators discover the manuscript. Determined not to let the manuscript meet the same fate as Davinci's notebooks, they hatch a plan to steal it, which leads to even more adventure.

There is no better way to explore the art and politics of the Sforza court in Milan than through the eyes of Leonardo da Vinci. Leonardo spent most of his early career employed by Ludovico il Moro, the regent and eventual Duke of Milan. This episode ties together the drama and intrigue of Sforza court politics with the work Leonardo did during his First Milanese Period (1482-1499). Some of Leonardo's most innovative painting arrived in this period. Beyond his Last Supper, the Renaissance master also worked on court portraits. Looking at both Lady with an Ermine and La Belle Ferronniere, we unpack the history of the ladies of the Sforza court and the complex social structures in Leonardo's Milan. Additionally, we explore the sophistication of Leonardo's style and ingenuity, especially as precursors to his Mona Lisa. This conversation ultimately ties the complicated threads that unite art, court culture, politics, gender, and romance in Renaissance Milan. Support/Watch/Follow: https://linktr.ee/italian_renaissance_podcastWorks Discussed: Leonardo da Vinci, Genevra de' Benci, ca. 1478 https://www.nga.gov/artworks/50724-ginevra-de-benci-obverseLeonardo da Vinci, Lady with an Ermine, ca. 1490 https://artsandculture.google.com/asset/lady-with-an-ermine-leonardo-da-vinci/HwHUpggDy_HxNQ?hl=en-GBLeonardo da Vinci and workshop, La Belle Ferronniere, ca. 1497 https://collections.louvre.fr/en/ark:/53355/cl010062372Salai, Head of Christ the Redeemer, 1511 https://ambrosiana.it/opere/testa-di-cristo-redentore/Get additional content by becoming a Patron: patreon.com/TheItalianRenaissancePodcast Support the show

On October 19, 2025, the world was shocked to learn of a brazen daylight heist of precious jewels from the Louvre. But this was not the first ambitious heist carried off in broad daylight at the Louvre.In fact, in 1911, another heist took place - and this time the stolen property was none other than the world-famous "Mona Lisa" by Leonardo Da Vinci. Join the Gilded Gentleman for the tale of this robbery— an inside job! —and the international search for both the painting and the thief. This episode originally ran in February 2023, but recent events demanded its return in a newly re-edited, re-mastered edition.  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Greg Jenner is joined in sixteenth-century Italy by historian Professor Jill Burke and comedian Tatty Macleod to learn all about Renaissance beauty standards and treatments. Early modern Italy is renowned for the gorgeous artworks created by painters like Titian, Rubens and Botticelli, many of them featuring beautiful women looking at themselves in mirrors or getting made up for a night out. In this episode, we take you through a Renaissance Get Ready With Me as we explore how these women would have been taking care of their hair and skin. We look at what hairstyles and makeup men and women wore, how often they bathed, whether or not they removed their body hair, and how they shaped their bodies through dieting and underwear. Along the way, we dive into the recipes for popular cosmetics and skincare treatments, ask where Renaissance beauty standards came from, and uncover the sexist, racist and classist ideas that often underpinned them. But we also explore how their beauty routines could be an avenue for women's self-expression, and show the importance of the history of beauty, even amidst the turbulent politics and warfare of the early modern period.If you're a fan of women's creativity through time, whacky historical recipes and early modern Italian art, you'll love our episode on Renaissance beauty.If you want to know more about the beauty standards of the past, why not listen to our episode on the history of high heels, or haircare entrepreneur Madam CJ Walker. And for more from Renaissance Italy, check out our episodes on the Borgias and Leonardo Da Vinci.You're Dead To Me is the comedy podcast that takes history seriously. Every episode, Greg Jenner brings together the best names in history and comedy to learn and laugh about the past.Hosted by: Greg Jenner Research by: Emma Bentley Written by: Emmie Rose Price-Goodfellow, Emma Nagouse, and Greg Jenner Produced by: Emmie Rose Price-Goodfellow and Greg Jenner Audio Producer: Steve Hankey Production Coordinator: Gill Huggett Senior Producer: Emma Nagouse Executive Editor: Philip Sellars
