Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) was an Italian polymath whose areas of interest included art, science, mathematics, engineering, and anatomy. He is best known for his masterpieces, "Mona Lisa" and "The Last Supper," both exemplifying his innovative techniques in painting. The "Vitruvian Man," a study of the ideal human proportions, showcases his keen interest in anatomy and the human form.
In 1482, Leonardo moved to Milan, where he worked for the Duke Ludovico Sforza. During this period, he painted "The Last Supper" (1495-1498) on the convent wall of Santa Maria delle Grazie. Another notable achievement is his design of the flying machine, illustrating his visionary approach to engineering and mechanics. Leonardo's notebooks, filled with sketches and scientific diagrams, provide invaluable insights into his genius.
