Quotation from: The Notebooks of Leonardo Da Vinci

Written by: Leonardo da Vinci


You see that the eye _c_ sees nothing of the tree _d_ but shadow,
while the same eye _c_ sees the tree _b_ half in light and half in
shade.


When a tree is seen from below, the eye sees the top of it as placed
within the circle made by its boughs[23].


Remember, O Painter! that the variety of depth of shade in any one
particular species of tree is in proportion to the rarity or density
of their branches.
