Leonardo da Vinci, the Polymath
Leonardo da Vinci epitomizes the term
'polymath'. The term 'polymath' denotes a
person of superhuman intellect,
intelligence, and talent.
"There had never been another man born in the world who knew as much as Leonardo, not so much about
painting, sculpture and architecture, as that he was a very great philosopher."
- Francis I, King of France
Leonardo da Vinci - the Painter
The Mona Lisa is arguably his most
famous work. The subject of this
portrait is still debated.
Leonardo da Vinci - the Anatomist

study the human anatomy.
• Notes from his journals include
detailed studies of the human skull,
human foetus, internal organs of a
woman, muscles, tendons, skeleton,
vascular system, etc.
Leonardo da Vinci - the Inventor
Leonardo conceptualized and sketched
the first parachute, first helicopter,
first hang glider, first airplane, first
tank, first repeating rifle, first
swinging bridge, first paddle boat,
the first motorcar, and also the first
bicycle (more than 300 years before it
hit the roads)
Leonardo da Vinci - the Scientist
• Leonardo approached botany
with an aesthetic rather than
scientific curiosity.
• Leonardo's astronomical
observations may have been held
scandalous in his times, since he
said that "The earth is not in the
center of the Sun's orbit nor at
the center of the Universe"!

person with great intelligence, who shows
an exceptional natural capacity of intellect,

individuality and imagination, and are not
only intelligent, but unique and innovative.
