During the Renaissance as many would know, new ways of thinking were introduced by great minds that saw beyond what any of us could. They emerged to be the best.
One man that was definitely considered an honorary Renaissance man was Leonardo Da' Vinci. Leonardo was an exceptional man with various grounds of talents, such as being a brilliant scientist, a great artist, an effective engineer, and even an amazing inventor. Even in the beginning, where Leonardo was an apprentice rather than an official painter, he was able to use his genius and paint better than his master, Verrocchio. Later as well, Leonardo greatly influenced art in the Renaissance after the Mona Lisa and her smile was painted. Over the course of Leonardo's life, he was able to incorporate artistic views with mathematics and really go into realism unlike the medieval paintings. Along with painting, Leonardo's genius made him both an excellent scientist who unraveled many secrets of the universe, and a skillful engineer that helped create new machinery for wars and self-defence against enemies.
All in all, Leonardo proved to be an exceptional Renaissance man with a variety of skills and grounds where he mastered and rose above all.
