Leonardo Da Vinci- A Renaissance Man

Leonardo Da Vinci was a Renaissance man because, as a painter, like many others in that time, he was quite skilled in the arts. However Leonardo Da Vinci was also a sculptor, inventor, engineer, scientist, mathematician and geologist, among other things also. This meant he must have been a true genius as he could compare to the other renaissance masters who were only good at one or two things. Leonardo Da Vinci had a mind that allowed him to invent and discover the things that were once thought to be impossible, cutting bodies open to find the anatomy of a human, also for the vetruvian man. Also, as an inventor, scientist and mathematician, he could combine his genius to figure out the blueprints for such inventions as the organ gun and the flying machine, using many concepts that he himself had discovered, although the flying machine didn't work. In conclusion, Leonardo was able to understand everything and more in his time, being a true renaissance mastermind.
