The gallery that I share with you today was created for art, science and history lovers. Yes, because it has a perfect combination of knowledge, so a tour of this place becomes a mixture of sensations. I'm talking about the exhibition gallery dedicated to the figure of Leonardo Da Vinci, located in one of the areas comprising the Atar茅s Castle in Havana.
In previous days I documented my first visit to the castle, but as it is such an impressive space and full of historical details, I was diluted in touring it and did not have time to access this gallery. So, as I had this one pending on my list of places to visit in the summer, I didn't let September keep adding days and I went to this place. Will you join me to visit it?
La galer铆a que hoy les comparto fue creada para los amantes del arte, las ciencias y la historia. S铆, porque posee una combinaci贸n perfecta de saberes, as铆 que un recorrido por ese lugar se convierte en una mezcla de sensaciones. Les hablo de la galer铆a de exposici贸n dedicada a la figura de Leonardo Da Vinci, ubicada en una de las 谩reas que comprende el Castillo de Atar茅s, en La Habana.
En d铆as anteriores document茅 mi primera visita al castillo, pero como es un espacio tan impresionante y repleto de detalles hist贸ricos, me dilu铆 en recorrerlo y no tuve tiempo de acceder a esta galer铆a. As铆 que como ten铆a este pendiente en mi lista de lugares para conocer en el verano, no permit铆 que septiembre siguiera sumando d铆as y me adentr茅 en este sitio. 驴Me acompa帽as a conocerlo?
Before I tell you why I liked this place so much, I will tell you that Leonardo di Ser Piero da Vinci (which is his full name), was one of the most extraordinary Florentine men of the Renaissance period in Italy. I know that most people know his figure, especially for his iconic and universal pictorial work La Gioconda or Mona Lisa; but the truth is that Da Vinci also developed as a paleontologist, botanist, anatomist, musician, writer, poet, architect, sculptor, philosopher, engineer. I have always thought of him as one of those people who are born every 1000 years.
The first room of the gallery is dedicated to painting studies, and on its walls hang several murals with his works. One of my favorites is "Saint Anne, the Madonna and Child, and a Sheep", of which the original is on display at the Louvre Museum in Paris; and in it Da Vinci manages to masterfully reflect the facial expressions of each character.
Also on display are "Lady with an Ermine" and "The Adoration of the Magi"; in addition, each panel contains an artistic description of each of these works.
Antes de contarle por qu茅 me gust贸 tanto este lugar, les cuento que Leonardo di Ser Piero da Vinci (que es su nombre completo), fue uno de los hombres florentinos m谩s extraordinarios de la 茅poca renacentista en Italia. S茅 que la mayor铆a de las personas conocen su figura, sobre todo por su ic贸nica y universal obra pict贸rica La Gioconda o Mona Lisa; pero lo cierto es que Da Vinci tambi茅n se desarroll贸 como paleont贸logo, bot谩nico, anatomista, m煤sico, escritor, poeta, arquitecto, escultor, fil贸sofo, ingeniero. Siempre he pensado que es de esas personas que nacen cada 1000 a帽os.
La primera sala de la galer铆a est谩 dedicada a los estudios de pintura, y en sus paredes cuelgan varias murales con sus obras. Una de mis preferidas es "Santa Ana, la madonna y el ni帽o, y una oveja", de la cual su original se encuentra expuesta en el museo del Louvre, en Par铆s; y en ella Da Vinci logra reflejar de forma magistral las expresiones faciales de cada personaje.
Tambi茅n se exponen "Dama con un armi帽o" y "La adoraci贸n de los reyes magos"; adem谩s de que en cada panel se realiza una descripci贸n art铆stica de cada una de estas obras.
One of the most unique elements of this area is that in each corner, there is a male figure of a mannequin, in different positions, wearing white suits.
Uno de los elementos m谩s singulares de esta 谩rea es que en cada esquina, existe la figura masculina de un maniqu铆, en diferentes posiciones, vistiendo trajes blancos.
There is another area dedicated to exhibiting small replicas of the measuring instruments designed by Da Vinci, made with an incredible level of detail and accuracy. I have to admit that I was amazed with the variety of pieces on display, and their practical uses. There I was able to see everything from a wax hygrometer (which I heard about for the first time 馃槄), to a laminator and a loom.
Existe otra 谩rea dedicada a exhibir peque帽as r茅plicas de los instrumentos de medici贸n que dise帽ara Da Vinci, confeccionadas con un nivel de detalle y exactitud incre铆ble. Tengo que admitir que qued茅 sorprendida con la variedad de piezas que se exponen, y sus usos pr谩cticos. Ah铆 pude ver desde un higr贸metro de cera (del cual escuch茅 hablar por primera vez 馃槄), hasta un laminador y un telar.
The last exhibition room exhibits machines, many of them war machines, of an impressive size. It also exhibits a huge mural synthesizing Da Vinci's studies of how birds achieve flight. From this analysis of wings, Leonardo designed a glider.
La 煤ltima sala de exposici贸n exhibe m谩quinas, muchas de ellas de guerra, de un tama帽o impresionante. Adem谩s expone un enorme mural donde se sintetizan los estudios realizados por Da Vinci de c贸mo las aves logran volar. De este an谩lisis de las alas, Leonardo dise帽贸 un planeador.
This site is extraordinarily incredible, as was Da Vinci and everything related to his work. I finished the visit with the desire to delve into all the knowledge left by this great genius.
Este sitio es extraordinariamente incre铆ble, as铆 como lo fue Da Vinci y todo lo relacionado con su obra. Termin茅 la visita con deseos de adentrarme en todos los conocimientos que dej贸 este gran genio.
