00:00In the art class, the teacher suddenly noticed dust on the model's legs, so he ordered the
00:04students to wipe it off immediately. When he sees a bad drawing, he scolds the student.
00:07When he sees a bad work, he expels the student. However, a teenager turned in a blank answer
00:12sheet. This ordinary-looking man was the genius Leonardo da Vinci. At the time,
00:16da Vinci didn't think the model in front of him could imitate the legendary goddess of the hunt.
00:19Cynthia that day, da Vinci approached Anna and asked to come to her home to paint on the spot.
00:23When Anna posed, da Vinci rejected her outright. Da Vinci said that no amount of disguise could
00:27make a girl of ordinary birth look like the goddess of the hunt. He told Anna to pose in her most
00:31natural way. In da Vinci's eyes, truth was the best form of expression. At night, he sneaked into his
00:36teacher's studio to steal expensive paints. After painting Anna's portrait, da Vinci found his
00:40teacher drinking alone late into the night. The teacher told da Vinci that he had recently
00:43encountered difficulties. He'd been commissioned by the church to put this 18-ton cross on top of
00:48the church. If successful, it would be a masterpiece. Prestige and honor would spread throughout the
00:52city. But at the end of the 15th century, it was a difficult task. It was easy to lift the ball high
00:56up in the air. But the leg braces couldn't withstand the pressure of the rotation. If the tower above
01:00started to swing, the whole building would collapse. But on the sidelines, Leonardo da Vinci was intrigued
01:05by the plans. Late at night, da Vinci lay awake in his bed. He kept thinking of solutions to the
01:09plans until he blew out the candle and watched the smoke rising. Da Vinci had a sudden inspiration.
01:13Then da Vinci sneaked into his teacher's drawing room, picked up the plans and began a new design.
01:17From the moment he picked up his pen, da Vinci seemed to have lost track of time.
