Picture of Notre-Dame Cathedral Leonardo Da Vinci

Meeting

Leonardo da Vinci was a great Italian artist and architect, recognized for his works of art and his inventions. He spent several years traveling around Europe, seeking sponsors for his projects. One day, while traveling in France, he arrived at Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris where Thibault Ribeiro was working as a master mason.


When Leonardo da Vinci entered the cathedral, he was amazed by its beauty and intricate architecture. He walked over to the master mason and asked him how the craftsmen managed to build such a marvel. Thibault Ribeiro explained to Leonardo the techniques they used to create strong and intricate arches that could support the weight of the cathedral roof.


This inspiring conversation gave Leonardo a new vision of architecture and the infinite possibilities that exist in this field. The wise advice of Thibault Ribeiro helped Leonardo to bring his own architectural style to the next level, which allowed future generations to admire his masterful works such as Saint Peter's Basilica in Rome or the Château du Clos Lucè in Amboise. .
