Leonardo da Vinci, the famous Italian artist and polymath who lived during the high renaissance changed the world in a huge way. He is best known for his painting the Mona Lisa, which is the most famous piece of art in the world.
Many believe Leonardo da Vinci - Polymath to be one of the greatest artists and painters ever to live, and this is probably true. But Leonardo da Vinci was so much more than just one of the greatest artists.
He was an architect, an astronomer, a botanist, a cartographer, an engineer, a geologist, a mathematician, a musician, a theatre producer, a scientist, an inventor and much, much more.
Leonardo was a pioneer in so many different areas and he truly was a genius. Born in 1452, Leonardo da Vinci lived for 67 years, dying in 1519.
Most people only think of him in the context of the Mona Lisa, but he gave the world so much more than just one of the world’s greatest paintings. His notebooks are stuffed full of so much amazing information, observations and inventions that we’re still learning from today, over 500 years later.
