Leonardo Davincci bes represents the idea of the renaissance man.The illegitimate son of a 25-year-old notary, Ser Piero, and a peasant girl, Caterina, Leonardo was born on April 15, 1452, in Vinci, Italy, just outside Florence. His father took custody of the little fellow shortly after his birth, while his mother married someone else and moved to a neighboring town. They kept on having kids, although not with each other, and they eventually supplied him with a total of 17 half sisters and brothers (http://www.mos.org/leonardo/bio.html).
Leoonardo was a great artist and inventor. Many of his paintings are still world famous such as his classic painting, the mona lisa. He was also the first person to dream up certain invention that were way ahead of his time. In his studies they have found drawing of tanks and airplanes. Leonardo was the spitting image of the Renaissance and whenever i think of who made the biggest contribution to that time period i will always think of him.
