Leonardo da Vinci

This piece is named for Leonardo da Vinci(1452- 1519) a painter, sculptor, architect, musician, engineer, geometer, inventor, and scientist from the Renaissance period. Although he is the most famous for his artistic masterpieces, Leonardo da Vinci was also one of the greatest scientific minds ever to have graced the earth. Writing on everything from optics to hydraulics, Leonardo da Vinci also performed extensive studies on human anatomy and used his artistic mastery to depict the first elaborate, detailed studies of the human body, the skeletal and muscles, organs and reproductive system.
