Leonardo was one of the three greatest artists of High Renaissance (the other two being Michelangelo and Raphael). He developed pictural composition to achieve a more natural look as well as stability. He was an inquisitive and inventive scholar and scientist: he studied human and animal anatomy, the flight of birds, waves, motions in the air. He invented more terrible weapons, how to make a bigger bronze statue than ever before, how to span a bridge across the Bosporus....... etc, etc. All this can be found in his sketchbooks, and most of his inventions went no further. Among the sketches there are a parachute and a "helicopter". The list could be much longer, but in short he was the best representative of the idea of a Renaissance man, one who mastered everything.
