**Leonardo Da Vinci's Success and Accomplishments**

Da Vinci's Art Leonardo Da Vinci, a man of many talents was born April 15, 1452 in Florence Italy. Da Vinci was in many ways the prime example of the Renaissance way of life. As a young boy, Da Vinci took a strong interest in art and soon became the apprentice of Andrea del Verrochio, a popular artist of the time. As a adult, Leonardo Da Vinci Painted multiple famous paintings, now worth millions of dollars. Some of Da Vinci’s most famous paintings include, the Adoration of the Magi, The Last Supper, and even the Mona Lisa in 1506. "Ever since Leonardo painted Mona Lisa, viewers have been enraptured by the woman's enigmatic, alluring gaze."(Roach, John) The Mona Lisa is now one of the most famous paintings of all time and worth millions of dollars. There are several other sketches and paintings created by Leonardo Da Vinci, however none nearly as popular as The Last Supper or the Mona Lisa. Some other paintings of Leonardo Da Vinci include Cecilia Gallarani, Ginevra de’ Benci, the Virgin of the Rocks, and a couple self-portraits. (Roach //Doing da Vinci//, Sedivy Mr. //Leonardo da Vinci//)

Da Vinci's Inventions Leonardo Da Vinci was also a brilliant inventor for his time. While many of his inventions where never physically built, many are depicted in great detail amongst his sketches. While many people are unaware, Leonardo Da Vinci is actually responsible for many modern day machines. Some examples of Da Vinci’s inventions include the first self-propelled automobile, a mechanical boat, and early flying machines that resemble modern helicopters and planes. "He observed birds with scientific precision and imagined the world from their perspective. This fascination led to a series of flying machine sketches, including this so-called ornithopter." (Roach, John) Some others inventions of his include the tank, the machine gun, the parachute, a catapult, and even a giant crossbow. A couple other inventions of his include a water lift and a double crane. Although many of his inventions were never built, or in a couple cases, didn’t work when built, they showed exceptional understanding of mechanics and the forces of nature. (Roach // Doing Da Vinci //, Bellis //Inventions of Leonardo da Vinci//, Museum of Science //Leonardo's Mysterious Machines//)

Da Vinci's Scientific Studies As well as a master artist and a brilliant inventor, Leonardo Da Vinci was also an avid researcher and scientist. In the 1500ds, Da Vinci began a series of dissections that allowed him to learn more about anatomy and the human body. Da Vinci portrayed his newfound knowledge of the human body in a series of sketches and notes. These notes contained accurate pictures and descriptions of the organs and internal body. It is said that "A keen scientific interest in the human form is evident throughout the lifelike depictions of people in Leonardo's paintings."(Roach John) One of his sketches shows an accurate picture of the infant child still in the uterus. This was an amazing discovery for the time and showed the early stages of life better than any documents ever before. Leonardo’s knowledge of anatomy even helped develop the human body in his art and it’s geometric proportion. The Vitruvian man, a drawing of Da Vinci’s, shows the human body with its limbs extended to fit perfectly within a circle and square. It was this understanding of proportion is one of the reasons Da Vinci’s paintings seem so realistic and visually appealing. (Roach //Doing da Vinci//)

Conclusion A man of the Renaissance, Leonardo Da Vinci was a mechanical genius, successful scientist, and brilliant artist. He lived a life full of success and prosperity and rightfully so. Leonardo Da Vinci was truly a successful person who changed the Renaissance itself and all history.
