Leonardo da Vinci

The outstanding genius of the Renaissance was Leonardo da Vinci whose talent was as diversified as any in history. Painter, architect, scientist, anatomist, inventor, engineer, mathematician and philosopher, he left to posterity a host of inventions, hundreds of drawings and a few great masterpieces, including the Mona Lisa, in the Louvre in Paris, and the famous Last Supper, in the Convent of Santa Maria dell Grazie, in Milan.
