EXAMPLES OF LEONARDO DA VINCI CARTOGRAPHY WORK!
- LEONARDO DA VINCI MAPS: TOWN IMOLA, ITALY -
YEAR: 1502
LEONARDO’S AGE: 50
Leonardo created a map of Cesare Borgia’s stronghold, a town plan of Imola in order to win his patronage. When presenting it to Cesare, the powerful leader must have been left in a state of awe. People at the time had hardly heard of maps let alone seen one. Maps themselves held a magical feel to them at the time as it would have seemed as if one was holding a piece of land in the palm of their hands! Cesare hired Leonardo upon seeing the map as his chief military engineer/ architect.
