Leonardo Da Vinci

framed art on fine art market.
Leonardo Da Vinci was an Italian polymath: oil painting
artist, architect, anatomist, sculptor, engineer, inventor,
mathematician, and musician. He has been described as the archetype
of the "Renaissance man", a man infinitely curious and equally
inventive. He is widely considered to be one of the greatest
painters of all time.
He was born and raised as a child in Vinci Italy. Leonardo is
famous for his realistic paintings, such as the Mona Lisa and The
Last Supper, as well as for influential drawings such as the
Vitruvian Man. He conceived of ideas vastly ahead of his own time,
notably conceptually inventing a helicopter, a tank, the use of
concentrated solar power, a calculator, a rudimentary theory of
plate tectonics, the double hull, and many others. Relatively few
of his designs were constructed or were feasible during his
lifetime; modern scientific approaches to metallurgy and
engineering were only in their infancy during the Renaissance. In
addition, he greatly advanced the state of knowledge in the fields
of anatomy, astronomy, civil engineering, optics, and the study of
water (hydrodynamics). Of his works, only a few oil paintings
survive, together with his notebooks (scattered among various
collections) containing drawings, scientific diagrams and notes.
