Da Vinci

How can Da Vinci be characterized as a true Renaissance Man?

Da Vinci can be characterized as a true Renaissance Man because he was good at everything. He is probably most known for his paintings and inventions. He painted many well no pictures such as the Mona Lisa, The Last Super, Virgin of the Rocks, and many more. He also invented many things that we still use today, like the parachute, the tank, and even a flying machine, but a lot of his inventions were just ideas in his notebook and they never got built. But he wasn't just a painter and an inventor. He was also skilled in architecture and design, he designed Church's, buildings, and statues. He liked to design things that the military could use. He designed a giant crossbow, the first tank, and an eight barreled machine gun. Da Vinci had one of the most modern minds of his time, and he was a true Renaissance Man.
