TravelsWithLobo's video: ROSEWOOD YANGON HOTEL - LEONARDO DA VINCI - TALA TOWNSHIP - The Other Side of the Yangon River

MYANMAR - 10-DAY FIRST TIME EXPLORER - YANGON - DAY 2 - EPISODE 2. ..Asia 2020 ...Vlog 22: Join us as we continue our discovery tour of Yangon by venturing across the Yangon River for a different vibe in TALA TOWNSHIP. Take the ferry along Strand Street for the ten minute crossing to a side of Yangon that is much more rural and less city-like. Village-like would be a better description. It is here that you will find the tuk tuks and the motorcycles that have been banned in central Yangon. If you have the time it would be good idea to do a tuk tuk tour of the village charm that the Tala Township side of Yangon offers. Our time was limited since our 10-Day tour of Myanmar only allowed for two days in Yangon. Once back on the "city side" of the Yangon River we explore along Strand Street and come upon the Yangon Rosewood Hotel and a big surprise - The Art Of Leonardo Opera Omnia. Leonardo da Vinci is a painter, an architect, an engineer and a scientist. He is the most remarkable talent of the Italian Renaissance. His longing for knowledge made him a master in a diverse range of fields, yet despite his versatility he left only a small number of oil paintings with the world. With the new Opera Omnia scanning and printing technologies, the audience can now appreciate at one exhibition the high-definition, full-sized replicas of 17 da Vinci’s masterpieces, housed separately in top museums around the world. Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci (Italian: [leoˈnardo di ˌsɛr ˈpjɛːro da (v)ˈvintʃi] (About this soundlisten); 14/15 April 1452[a] – 2 May 1519),[3] known as Leonardo da Vinci (English: /ˌliːəˈnɑːrdoʊ də ˈvɪntʃi, ˌliːoʊˈ-, ˌleɪoʊˈ-/ LEE-ə-NAR-doh də VIN-chee, LEE-oh-, LAY-oh-),[4] was an Italian polymath of the Renaissance whose areas of interest included science and invention, drawing, painting, sculpture, architecture, music, mathematics, engineering, literature, anatomy, geology, astronomy, botany, paleontology, and cartography. He has been variously called the father of palaeontology, ichnology, and architecture, and is widely considered one of the greatest painters of all time (despite perhaps only 15 of his paintings having survived).[b] Born out of wedlock to a notary, Piero da Vinci, and a peasant woman, Caterina, in Vinci, in the region of Florence, Italy, Leonardo was educated in the studio of the renowned Italian painter Andrea del Verrocchio. Much of his earlier working life was spent in the service of Ludovico il Moro in Milan, and he later worked in Rome, Bologna and Venice. He spent his last three years in France, where he died in 1519. Leonardo is renowned primarily as a painter. The Mona Lisa is the most famous of his works and the most famous portrait ever made.[5] The Last Supper is the most reproduced religious painting of all time[6] and his Vitruvian Man drawing is regarded as a cultural icon as well.[7] Salvator Mundi was sold for a world record $450.3 million at a Christie's auction in New York, 15 November 2017, the highest price ever paid for a work of art.[8] Leonardo's paintings and preparatory drawings—together with his notebooks, which contain sketches, scientific diagrams, and his thoughts on the nature of painting—compose a contribution to later generations of artists rivalled only by that of his contemporary Michelangelo.[9] Although he had no formal academic training,[10] many historians and scholars regard Leonardo as the prime exemplar of the "Universal Genius" or "Renaissance Man", an individual of "unquenchable curiosity" and "feverishly inventive imagination."[6] He is widely considered one of the most diversely talented individuals ever to have lived.[11] According to art historian Helen Gardner, the scope and depth of his interests were without precedent in recorded history, and "his mind and personality seem to us superhuman, while the man himself mysterious and remote."[6] Scholars interpret his view of the world as being based in logic, though the empirical methods he used were unorthodox for his time.
