Da Vinci - A Renaissance man?

Artist Leonardo DaVinci was the model of the Renaissance man. Leonardo Da Vinci was a man of many worlds. As a master of both of art and science, Leonardo, worked as a painter, sculptor, architect, musician, engineer, inventor, and scientist. The reason why he can be charaterized as a Renaissance man is because he had a similar character as the era 'Renaissance'. At the Renaissance, people questioned the old ideas and demanded new ideas. Also, Leonardo's job was an artist and an inventor. This two jobs required lots of imagination and creativity. So, Da Vinci kept thinking about new ideas as if he was a scientific idea making machine. For example, there were inventions like spiral propellars, pyramid parachutes, movable bridges and more. However, all of these items were just left as notes. On top of that, some of his ideas were impossible to actualize. For example, the flying machine that Da Vinci designed was discovered to be unable to function due to misunderstanding of the principal of the bird's flight. However, just the fact that Da Vinci thought of these ideas in the 1500s is a surprising fact and so Leonardo can be described as a 'Renaissance man'.
