Illustrated Biography of Leonardo Da Vinci 

Leonardo da Vinci was an Italian Renaissance polymath: painter, sculptor, architect, musician, mathematician, military-engineer, inventor, anatomist, geologist, cartographer, botanist, and writer. His genius, perhaps more than that of any other figure, epitomized the Renaissance humanist ideal.

He is widely considered to be one of the greatest painters of all time and perhaps the most diversely talented person ever to have lived.
