Codex on the flight of birds 1505

"Codex on the Flight of Birds" (1505) is a page from Leonardo da Vinci's notebook that showcases the artist's fascination with avian anatomy and aerodynamics. The page features several detailed sketches of birds in flight, alongside his signature "mirror writing" notes that delve into his observations of their movements. These sketches, a testament to da Vinci's dedication to scientific study, are a compelling glimpse into the mind of a true Renaissance polymath. Today, the page is housed in the Palazzo Reale di Torino, Turin, Italy.
