15. âą Leonardo da Vinci or simply Leonardo, 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,
and cartography.
âą He has been variously called the father of
palaeontology, ichnology, and architecture, and is
widely 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.
16. âą Many historians and scholars regard Leonardo as the prime
exemplar of the "Universal Genius" or "Renaissance Man", an individual of
"unquenchable curiosity" and "feverishly inventive imagination", and he is
widely considered one of the molente individuals ever to have lived.
âą According to art historian Helen Gardner, the scope and depth of his
interests were without precedent in recorded history, and "his mind and
personality seem to us superhuman, while the man himself mysterious
and remote".
âą Marco Rosci notes that while there is much speculation regarding his life
and personality, his view of the world was logical rather than
mysterious, and that the empirical
methods he employed were unorthodox for his time.
