Da Vinci inspired Backgrounds

Collection of 10 Leonardo Da Vinci inspired Backgrounds

Leonardo da Vinci was the Renaissance’s all-around great mind.

Leonardo da Vinci’s name makes everyone think of the word “genius.” He is often mentioned in the same breath as great people like Michelangelo or Albert Einstein. Some people call him the “Steve Jobs of the Renaissance,” which is a nice thing to say. His life story is unique, and his inventions and works of art were ahead of their time.

When Leonardo da Vinci was born near Florence in 1452, Europe was just coming out of the Middle Ages and into the early modern era. It is the time of the Renaissance, which began in Italy and is marked by many different changes.

Old ideas are shaken up and fall apart, the economy grows at a very fast rate, revolutionary inventions are made, and news from all over the world reaches Europe about countries that were unknown before.

Today, Leonardo da Vinci is thought to be the most well-known Renaissance artist. His drawing “Vitruvian Man” becomes a symbol of Renaissance art, and his famous paintings “Mona Lisa” and “The Last Supper” are among the first examples of modern painting.

Leonardo da Vinci didn’t just paint, either. He was also a sculptor, architect, musician, cartographer, writer, mechanic, and engineer, among other things.

And this isn’t even the whole list. People like to consider Leonardo da Vinci a “universal genius” because of this. He wrote down his ideas in many notebooks, and he always had one with him so he could write down his observations right away.

How to use the Backgrounds in Photoshop

1. Open your original image and process it any way you like. Once done, flatten the image.
2. Add the background image as a new layer above your original image and change the blend mode for the background layer to Overlay or Soft Light.
3. You can also try other blend modes like Darken, Multiply, Color Burn, Darker Color, Lighten, Screen, Color Dodge, Lighter Color, Overlay, Soft Light, Hard Light, Difference, Exclusion, Hue, Saturation, Color, and Luminosity
4. You can also experiment with the opacity of the background layer or add several other adjustment layers till you are satisfied with the result.
5. Add a layer mask to the background layer and use a brush to mask the background from your subject.

Why is the background of a picture so important?

The background sets the tone for the rest of your composition. A good background will add to the story, tell you important things about your setting, and make your photo look much better. You should pay just as much attention to the background as you do to the subject.

How should a good background look?

You want it to be clutter-free and tidy enough so that readers can concentrate fully on your subject. Go for a background with a limited number of colors and patterns. This contrast between your model and their surroundings visually enhances the cleanliness of the scene.

How to select a color for the background?

When thinking of background ideas, ensure that the color of the background goes well with the color of your subject’s skin and clothes instead of drawing attention away from them. Color theory is a big part of what I do, and it’s important for photographers to understand it.
