Leonardo da Vinci was educated at University of Florence. Credited works include Adoration of the Magi, Virgin of the Rocks and Mona Lisa.
My Take
What floors me about Leonardo da Vinci is that the same hand which painted the Mona Lisa also filled notebooks with anatomy, astronomy, and machines. Calling him a painter undersells him; he was pure, restless curiosity. An illegitimate child born in 1452 in the small village of Anchiano near Florence left behind the most famous painting on earth, five centuries on. The Last Supper and the Vitruvian Man are proof of one mind stitching art and science together. I revere him precisely because that imperfect, deeply human side comes packaged with the genius.
