4. Leonardo Da Vinci
 He was an italian polymath, painter, sculptor,
architect, musician, mathenmatician,
engineer, inventor, anatomist, geologist,
cartographer, botanist, and writer.
o He is widely considdered to be one of the
greatest painters of all times and perhaps the
most diversely talented person ever to have
lived.

5. Paintor
 Despite the recent awareness and
admiration of Leonardo as a scientist and
inventor, for the better part of four
hundred years his fame rested on his
achievements as a painter and on a
handful of works, either authenticated or
attributed to him that have been
regarded as among the masterpieces.[65]

6. Scientific studies
 Leonardo's approach to science was an
observational one: he tried to understand a
phenomenon by describing and depicting it in
utmost detail and did not emphasize experiments
or theoretical explanation. Since he lacked formal
education in Latin and mathematics,
contemporary scholars mostly ignored Leonardo
the scientist, although he did teach himself Latin.
In the 1490s he studied mathematics under Luca
Pacioli and prepared a series of drawings of
regular solids in a skeletal form to be engraved as
plates for Pacioli's book De Divina Proportione,
published in 1509.

7. Renaissaince
 Renaissance Italy was centuries away from
our culture of photographs and cinema, but
Leonardo nevertheless sought a universal
language in painting. With perspective and
other realistic elements, Leonardo tried to
create faithful renditions of life. In a culture
previously dominated by highly figurative and
downright strange religious paintings,
Leonardo's desire to paint things realistically
was bold and fresh. This call to objectivity
became the standard for painters who
followed in the 16th century.

8. Inventions
 During his lifetime Leonardo was valued as an
engineer. In a letter to Ludovico il Moro he claimed
to be able to create all sorts of machines both for
the protection of a city and for siege. When he fled
to Venice in 1499 he found employment as an
engineer and devised a system of moveable
barricades to protect the city from attack. He also
had a scheme for diverting the flow of the Arno River,
a project on which Niccolò Machiavelli also worked.
Leonardo's journals include a vast number of
inventions, both practical and impractical. They
include musical instruments, a mechanical knight,
hydraulic pumps, reversible crank mechanisms,
finned mortar shells, and a steam cannon.

9. Conclusion
 Leonardo Da Vinci was a great painter
and inventor that inspired a lot of people
to invent things that today may be
important to us, we was one of the
greatest painters and inventors in the
history of hummanity.
