Conclusion
In considering this amazing Renaissance Man, the words of biographer and author Kathleen Krull seem appropriate:
“Okay, he was a genius; this much is obvious. But does that explain Leonardo da Vinci? No. Someone so phenomenally gifted will always evade rational explanation. True, he was like a surfer on a huge wave- the spirit of intellectual tolerance fostered by the Renaissance, the empowering access to information supplied by the new printing presses. Yet he always remained out of step: a left-handed, illegitimate, antiwar vegetarian with extraordinary artistic talent. His outsider status took him on paths others couldn’t even see…
In the final analysis, Leonardo can be credited not so much for specific discoveries as for a way of thinking. He devotion to investigating, observing, experimenting, and then forming conclusions was revolutionary…
Most intriguing of all is the question: What would Leonardo be doing if he were alive today?”
Hopefully this project has enlightened your understanding and encouraged you to further develop your own unique talents and abilities. If so, Leonardo himself would be proud!
