True Renaissance Man


Leonardo Da Vinci was a true Renaissance man during Renaissance. He excels in many different ways. He was a great artiest, engineer, inventor, architect, scientist, mathematician, and sculptor and even he was planning a party. As a teenager, Leonardo thought the art from the famous painter Verrocchio. He showed a great talent and tried different technique to make his paintings more beautiful. He drew two famous drawings, which are ‘Last Supper’ and ‘Mona Lisa’. Leonardo’s career as an artiest leads him to the interest of the human anatomy. He drew muscles, oranges, bones and even fetuses. These wasn’t only artistic, it was almost perfect drawings that now we know about the human body. It also helps us the knowledge about human physiology. Many museums have Leonardo’s notebook, which Leonardo’s fascinations. It contains the idea, comments and drawings about anatomy, astronomy, animals, people, architecture, geography and fossils. It also demonstrates, as he was a great inventor by drawings of natural world, which he observed. He design mechanical machines such as car, robots, airplane and some of them were impossible invented during that time because of the lack of technology. He also was a intelligent scientist. He found about the blood circulation, movement of the eyes and the effect of the moon on the tides. I think, Da Vinci gave a huge effect to Renaissance and not only Renaissance, he gave big influence and knowledge to us.
