ASM-Lehigh Valley Chapter Meeting
Members Appreciation Night and Business Meeting
Thursday, May 14, 2009

TITLE: The Technology, Casting Methods, and Scultptures of Leonardo da Vinci

SPEAKER: Peter Dent, Vice President of Business Development for the Electron Energy Corporation

ABSTRACT: In the late 15th century Leonardo da Vinci labored for 17 years to create his ultimate triumph of art and technology: a colossal 24 foot tall, 80 ton bronze Horse in tribute to the father of Duke Ludvico Sforza of Milan. Unfortunately, war intervened and bronze for the Horse was diverted to form cannon to fight the French who eventually seized the city on 10 September 1499. Gaston bowmen used Leonardo’s full size clay model as their target for archery practice which, along with the weather, destroyed what Leonardo had hoped would be his greatest legacy to art. Five hundred years later a group of Americans completed the dream of the late Charles C. Dent to build a modern tribute to Leonardo which is located in Milan, Italy. Through the donation to the Italian people of a Horse based on Leonardo’s drawings, widespread international acclaim was received.

This presentation will provide a context of times of the Italian renaissance and Leonardo’s universal genius, 15th century casting technology, and contrast this with the methods used to build Leonardo da Vinci’s Horse, which, even in modern times, posed numerous unique challenges.
