Leonardo da Vinci was an Italian polymath born in 1452 in Vinci, Italy who lived during the Renaissance period and made significant contributions to anatomy through detailed drawings of various body systems like the heart, muscles, and female reproductive system based on dissections, though his anatomical works were not widely known until recently due to religious restrictions on human dissection at the time.
