Leonardo Da Vinci (1452 – 1519)
was an Italian Renaissance polymath whose
areas of interest included invention, painting, sculpting, architecture, science, music, mathematics, engineering, literature, anatomy, geology, astronomy, botany, writing, history,

considered one of the greatest painters of all time. Sometimes credited with
the inventions of the parachute, helicopter and tank, he
epitomised the Renaissance humanist ideal. More here...
