Leonardo da Vinci is one of the greatest mentalist in all of history. He has many skills and he has mastered everything from art to science and enganeering. He lived during a time filled with other smart people. The acheivements that he has made in his life were remarkible and so advanced for his time period that many of his ideas were not taken seriously until today. Leonardo da Vinci was born April 15, 1452 in the Republic of Florence. He was the illegitimate son of a Florentine legal notary and a peasant woman called Caterina. Leonardo da Vinci studied in the studio of a distinguished painter, Verrocchio. He had an informal education in Latin geometry and mathematics. He spent …show more content…
He wrote and drew with his left hand. His journals and notes show Leonardo da Vinci's studies, discoveries and inventions. As an apprentice to Andrea del Verrocchio, he was taught to draw the human body from life and he became familiar with the mechanics of the various parts of the body. As he became a successful artist, he was given permission to dissect human corpses at the hospital in Florence. In 30 years, Leonardo da Vinci dissected 30 male and female corpses of different ages. Leonardo's study of human anatomy led also to the design of the first known robot in recorded history. Among Leonardo's drawings are many that are studies of the motion of water. While in Milan in 1496 Leonardo met, Luca Pacioli and studied mathematics under him. Pacioli collaborated with Leonardo and they wrote a book called "De divina proportione" about mathematical and artistic …show more content…
Two of his works, the Mona Lisa and The Last Supper are the most famous and most reproduced paintings of all time. Leonardo's drawing of the Vitruvian Man is equally as famous. As an engineer, Leonardo da Vinci's ideas were ahead of his time. He designed a helicopter, a tank, solar power, a calculator, and outlined a beginning theory of plate tectonics. As a scientist, he advanced the knowledge of anatomy and civil engineering. Leonardo da Vinci has often been described as the archetype of the "Renaissance man", a man whose great curiosity was as great as his powers of invention. He is widely considered to be one of the greatest painters of all time and perhaps the most diversely talented person ever to have
