The Man of the Renaissance


Leonardo da Vinci


The Renaissance was a “rebirth” from the Middle Ages it was a period of time where there is no longer war to stop human development. It was a time where people were allowed to make observation, experiment and exploded new ideas. Leonardo da Vinci is known as the man of the Renaissance because of his characteristic that makes him the true Renaissance Man. Leonardo di Vinci was truly a genius, Leonardo did not go to school he was self taught. As a young boy Da Vinci was curious about the world was always observing things around him and from his curiosity he was able to discover aerodynamic and invent flying machines. Even though Leonardo he not experiment with all of his invention but he was capable of taking his ideas to the next step along with applying the idea that one day mankind would be able to fly up high in the sky. These characteristic that the Renaissance Man possess allowed him to take a risk while he was alive which made his ideas and theory still alive till this day.
