If one was asked to name a true genius, two names are likely to commonly come up, Albert Einstein and Leonardo da Vinci. Leonardo da Vinci was an Italian polymath in the High Renaissance. He was a genius who was an engineer, scientist, theorist, draughtsman, painter, sculptor, and architect. He is an icon and symbol of the Renaissance and a truly remarkable man if ever there was one.
The saying goes, "Jack of all trades, master of none." But for Leonardo, nothing could have been further from the truth. He was the "Jack of all trades, master of all." He has had a huge influence on Western history with his impact still being felt today. Visiting the Leonardo Da Vinci Interactive Museum in his birthplace in Italy is a must for those passing through.
