Leonardo da Vinci is widely regarded as one of the most diversely talented individuals in history. A painter (the Mona Lisa, The Last Supper), sculptor, architect, musician, mathematician, engineer, inventor, anatomist, and writer, he embodied the Renaissance ideal of the "universal man." His notebooks contain designs for flying machines, tanks, and solar power, centuries ahead of their time.
