Born on April 15, 1452, Leonardo da Vinci was truly a “Renaissance” man. Primarily known as a painter, he was also a mathematician, sculptor, scientist, musician, engineer, architect, writer, botanist and the list goes on.
He painted the most famous portrait of all time, The Mona Lisa, as well as the most reproduced religious painting, The Last Supper. There was a renewed interest in many of his drawings and inventions because of a book/movie released a few years ago – The Da Vinci Code.
He is an intriguing figure to study. You can learn more about him here.
