Da Vinci- The Genius

The Renaissance can generally be termed as 'rebirth' because it was during that era, where there was a reintroduction of artm architecture, science and knowledge. A very active influence during the Renaissance was Leonardo Da Vinci, who was famously known as the renaissance man. He devoted his time and energy in all areas of art and learning. From an early age, he was a very skillful artist, he deligently sketched people and animals in his notebook. A s he grew older, he painted some famous pieces and that moved on to learn about mathematics and science. He made many drawing in his notebook which consited of fantasic flying machine, finely observed anatomy sumarizes and other war machines. The difference between the middle ages and the Renissance is vast. Da Vinci had the knowledge to sketch sinews, muscles and tendons while duing the middle ages the was no such detail. Leonardo Da Vinci was a man who wanted to master everything he could get his hands on and eventually this helped the Renaissance grow in knowledage, art, sculptoring, architecture and science.
