Mobile Assault RampLeonardo da Vinci

67
This military sketch (late 15th c.) depicts a mobile assault ramp designed to breach fortified walls during sieges. Mounted on wheels and supported by braces and pulleys, the structure combines mobility with stability. It reflects Leonardo’s fascination with engineering and his pragmatic approach to warfare innovation.
