Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci was an Italian polymath, leading artist, intellectual of the Italian Renaissance, architect, mathematician, inventor, and writer.

Born on April 15, 1452, as the illegitimate child of the wealthy notary and a peasant girl, in the Tuscan hill town of Vinci, Leonardo was raised by his father, Piero da Vinci, and his stepmothers. He was educated in the studio of the renowned Florentine painter, Verrocchio, and later worked in Milan, Rome, Bologna and Venice, spending his last years in France at the home given to him by Francis I.

During his life, he mastered so many disciplines that he epitomized the Renaissance humanist ideal. Leonardo has often been described as the archetype of the "Renaissance man". Like the many others leaders of Renaissance humanism, he believed that art was strongly connected with science and nature.

Today, he is widely known for his art, including two paintings, Mona Lisa and The Last Supper. Mona Lisa is the most famous and the most parodied portrait while The Last Supper the most reproduced religious painting of all time.

His work and observations were recorded in more than 10,000 pages of notes and drawings, including designs for anatomy, war machinery, flying machines, and architecture.

    The second one "While I thought that I was learning how to live, I have been learning how to die". So true......
  • @meirionowen5979
    To any viewers from the USA, a 'polymath' is someone who is good at multiple subjects.
  • My favorite of Leonardo DA Vinci is "Anyone who in discussion relies upon authority uses, not his understanding, but rather his memory." so true, it's easy to know Plato said about this or that, rather than think own thoughts to have own opinion...

    "Where the spirit does not work with the hand there is no art." Is one of my favorite quotes and "simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.” he's always been an inspiration to me and my art.
  • @fissh29
    You forgot one of his best. ... "Simplicity is the greatest sophistication"

    Maestro Leonardo day Vinci. I was taught that the Roman race from the empire was different than the rebirth italian race from the middle ages. My paternal name STOLA from Roman royalty....the Stola toga fashion designer s....my immediate family resided in America for many years....are my genes and blood line different than standard italians or italian Americans. Bene dici master da Vinci. thanks
