Leonardo Da Vinci
 Leonardo
da Vinci (April 15, 1452 – May 2, 1519) was an Italian
Renaissance architect, musician, anatomist, inventor, engineer,
sculptor, geometer, and painter. He has been described as
the archetype of the "Renaissance man" and as a
universal genius. Leonardo is famous for his masterly paintings,
such as The Last Supper and Mona Lisa. He is also known for
designing many inventions that anticipated modern technology
but were rarely constructed in his lifetime. In addition,
he helped advance the study of anatomy, astronomy, and civil
engineering.
