Default 500th anniversary of the death of Leonardo Da Vinci

Considered to be the rare archetype of the Renaissance Man. Well known for not only his art, but his inventions


Made famous and remembered for The Last Supper and the Mona Lisa as well as engineering designs for bridges and flying craft using rotating blades. He also rocked a amazing beard.

Amazing how much of an advanced mind him and Michelangelo had compared to the rest of the world at that time.

They weren't just artists, they were also engineers, architects, inventors, biologists, etc.

I’m in the middle of Isaacson’s biography of Da Vinci as we speak. It’s a real commitment and I’ve started and stopped a couple of times now. I hope to finally get through it this time.
