Leonardo Da Vinci The life and work of Leonardo, the archetypical 'Renaissance Man' for whom no branch of knowledge was allowed to remain a closed book, has proved endlessly fascinating to later generations. At one time he was known only as a painter, although many of his works were unknown and a number of inferior works by other hands were wrongly attributed to him. The full, amazing extent of his genius emerged only in a quite recent times with the rediscovery of his notebooks and drawings. For a time, even Leonardo the painter seemed to be submerged by the weight of his new reputation as a scientist. Some readjustment has taken place since then. As a scientist and engineer, Leonardo's achievements, through staggering enough, while at the same time a succession of brilliant art historians, beginning with Bernhard Berenson and Kenneth Clark, have made us far more knowledgeable about his art. Though Leonardo would have jibbed at such a judgement he was as is first and foremost a great painter, a man whose output was tiny compared with the other geniuses of his time (a Michelangelo, a Raphael, a Titian) yet includes possibly the two most famous paintings in history, the Mona Lisa and the Last Supper.
