Quotation from: The Notebooks of Leonardo Da Vinci

Written by: Leonardo da Vinci


That smoke will look bluest which rises from the driest wood and
which is nearest to the fire and is seen against the darkest
background, and with the sunlight upon it.


303.


A dark object will appear bluest in proportion as it has a greater
mass of luminous atmosphere between it and the eye. As may be seen
in the colour of the sky.


304.
