Leonardo Da Vinci
1452-1519
Leonardo Da Vinci was a scientist, artist in many media, design
engineer, anatomist…the definitive Renaissance man. He was
born in Vinci in 1452 and the town today maintains a Leonardo museum.
(See the third link below). The first link is an excellent introduction
to his life and work. Just as the Museum of Science in Florence
has a strong focus on Galileo, the National Museum of Science and
Technology in Milan focuses on the life and work of Leonardo Da
Vinci. There are both real and virtual museum exhibits.
