This masterful work of Art has been created to celebrate the joy of learning and the cultivation of knowledge. Leonardo da Vinci, throughout his life, was one of the greatest embodiments of this joy and appreciation for knowledge. When one is engrossed in the process of learning to increase understanding of the world, knowledge of self expands, and the ability to navigate in the world with greater richness, appreciation, and harmony ensues. For each unique individual, there lies a path for their cultivation of knowledge, and this sculpture is an inspiration for all who wish to embrace the opportunity to learn and develop themselves.

The likeness is referenced from a self-portrait drawn by Leonardo da Vinci toward the end of his life and a drawing of the Master in profile by his pupil Francesco Melzi. What an inspiration to be able to look into the eyes of the man who sought to understand everything.
