Leonardo has often been described as the archetype of the Renaissance Man, a man of "unquenchable curiosity" and "feverishly inventive imagination".[1] 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."

Definition:
Leonardo da Vinci was an exceptionable man, credited with hundreds of writings, paintings, and inventions. His birth was marked by a plainness, but the rest of his life was filled with ideas of a most granduer style. Never satisfied, he constantly searched for answers, probing man's understanding of the world he found himself in. Not much is known about this man's private life, but connections have been made.
