Leonardo da Vinci was the renaissance man par excellence. He was born in 1452 and lived for 67 years, during which he cultivated the fields of botanics, mathematics, engineering, hydrodynamics, optics, anatomy, painting, sculpture, architechture, writing and music. He was a very curious man, and many of his works are considered masterpieces, as for example Mona Lisa and The Last Supper. Apart from these works, many others have become really famous, as (among others) the Vitruvian Man (aka The Canon of Proportions).
His work, apart from being influential in different areas of knowledge, is the example of an extreme sense of curiosity, zeal for work and interest in life in general, which is an example to follow by present day people.
