When someone shows great skills in a certain field, we call them a genius. In particular, the term is most
associated with two people. One is the famed scientist Albert Einstein, and the other is Leonardo Da Vinci.
However, unlike Einstein, whose achievements were essentially all related to science, Leonardo Da Vinci
was a master at art, architecture, invention, and several other areas.
Da Vinci was born in Italy in 1452. He took to art at an early age and at age 14, he went to study as an
apprentice in Florence under the artist Verrocchio. For the next six years, Da Vinci picked up drawing,
carpentry, sculpting, and many other techniques from his master and his talent were evident. In fact, Da
Vinci was such a good painter that his talent frustrated his master. Eventually, Verrocchio was so frustrated
by his student’s genius that he stopped painting altogether. By the age of 20, Da Vinci was considered a
master artist and set up his own workshop. It was there that Da Vinci was approached to create a painting for
the Duke of Milan. The Duke was so impressed by his work that he would bring him under his service. In
addition to creating paintings and sculptures, the Duke also had him design innovative buildings, machines,
and weapons. Da Vinci would draw up plans for several futuristic inventions including tanks, submarines,
and flying machines. He also mastered the art of drawing every muscle and detail of the human body. The
only criticism one could make of Da Vinci is that his brilliant mind jumped so quickly from subject to
subject that he rarely completed the works he started. The ones he did finish were often spectacular
masterpieces, such as his paintings The Last Supper and the timeless Mona Lisa. The latter, which is on
display at the Louvre in Paris, is arguably the most famous painting of all time because of its incredible
detail and realism.
Although Da Vinci died in 1519, his effect on the art world has never waned. He helped coin the term
“Renaissance man” which refers to someone who excels in many different areas. Perhaps the greatest
present Da Vinci left behind was his journals. Admirers and students of his work can examine 13,000 pages
of his notes, drawings, and ideas to better understand what made this genius tick.
