Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) was an Italian Renaissance pundit who was an expert in various fields. His talents, works, and creativity were so vast that he is considered to be the most diversely talented person ever to have lived. Da Vinci has been regarded as one of the greatest painters in the world. He is most popularly and widely known for his painting of Mona Lisa, a woman with mysterious smile. ‘The last supper’ painted by him is the most produced religious painting of all time. Only fifteen of his paintings remain today because other paintings by him were either ruined by his experiments or were not completed due to his procrastination. What made his paintings so unique are the ground-breaking techniques that he used for his painting. He was a very detailed painter who used his knowledge of anatomy, light, botany and geology to portray the human emotions. Da Vinci always kept the journal of sketches and drawings of the things that took his attention. He is known as a person with an immense curiosity with some queer personality. His habit of purchasing caged birds and releasing them adds to his extraordinary nature. Leonardo da Vinci, without any doubt, is a legendary personality.
