Leonardo Da Vinci

The original ‘’Renaissance Man’’ was a scientist, a painter, a sculptor, an architect, a military engineer, an inventor, and a musician. His rich legacy left behind include the first detailed drawings of the human anatomy, pioneering notes on the structure and growth of plants, and even detailed diagrams of machinery from which modern-day engineers have constructed prototypes. To protect his ideas, he used mirror (or backward) writing. The genius of da Vinci continues to inspire and to intrigue each generation of students throughout the world.
