da Vinci's Birthday 2020
 Leonardo da Vinci |
Born 568 years ago in Anchiano, Italy he was a polymath of Italian extraction remembered primarily for his painting but posessing a wide area of interests which included but are not limited to:
• invention
• drawing
• painting
• sculpture
• architechture
• science
• mathematics
• engineering
• literature
• anatomy
• geology
• astronomy
• botany
• palenontology
• cartography
Those accolades have followed him closely and he who had no formal academic training is considered one of those few true multiple discipline "universal" geniuses of the world.
So here we have an uneducated individual eclipsing the intellect of the day being remembered throughout history as a man who could and did do about anything.
Today is his birthday. He would have been 568 years old today.
