	Biography
		In 1502 Leonardo entered the service of Cesare Borgia, duke of Romagna and son and chief general of Pope Alexander VI; in his capacity as the duke's chief architect and engineer, Leonardo supervised work on the fortresses of the papal territories in central Italy.
		From 1514 to 1516 Leonardo lived in Rome under the patronage of Pope Leo X: he was housed in the Palazzo Belvedere in the Vatican and seems to have been occupied principally with scientific experimentation.
		Leonardo's many extant drawings, which reveal his brilliant draftsmanship and his mastery of the anatomy of humans, animals, and plant life, may be found in the principal European collections; the largest group is at Windsor Castle in England.

	Leonardo DaVinci
		Leonardo was born on, "Saturday April 15, [1452] at three o'clock in the night".
		In 1472, Leonardo was enrolled as a master in the Company of Painters; this indicates that his actual apprenticeship to Verrocchio had probably ended by this time, though he stayed at his master's workshop.
		But Leonardo was ready to move on; exactly why is unknown but it may have been due to his disappointment at not being one of the four masters chosen to decorate the walls of the Sistine Chapel.

	Leonardo da Vinci - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		Leonardo drew many images of the human skeleton, and was the first to describe the double S form of the backbone.
		Leonardo is reputed to have followed an unusual regime of polyphasic sleep, with frequent naps instead of extended periods of sleep.

	Leonardo (TMNT) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Leonardo (or "Leo"), a fictional character, is one of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT).
		Leonardo was given a similar personality in the Image comic books; he was fairly sure of himself as a leader but also on more easygoing terms with his more difficult brothers, Raphael and Michelangelo.
		Leonardo's swords are called katana, but they are actually straight-bladed variants of the katana known as ninjatō (and they are able to resist impossible pressure, being sharp enough to slice almost any material, including steel and alien metals).

		Leonardo's scientific and technical observations are found in his handwritten manuscripts, of which over 4000 pages survive, including the one pictured on the right, showing some rock formations (click on it to view an enlargement).
		While portions of Leonardo's technical treatises on painting were published as early as 1651, the scope and caliber of much of his scientific work remained unknown until the 19th century.
		Leonardo's answer was remarkably close to the modern one: fossils were once-living organisms that had been buried at a time before the mountains were raised: "it must be presumed that in those places there were sea coasts, where all the shells were thrown up, broken, and divided.

	Leonardo da Vinci \| Renaissance Man
		For example, one of Leonardo's first big breaks was to paint an angel in Verrochio's "Baptism of Christ," and Leonardo was so much better than his master's that Verrochio allegedly resolved never to paint again.
		Alas, Leonardo's interests were so broad, and he was so often compelled by new subjects, that he usually failed to finish what he started.
		At first Leonardo was commissioned to make only a life-sized statue, already a difficult task, but his employer, Ludovico Sforza, then decided that the tribute to his father should be four times larger.

	Leonardo da Vinci
		Leonardo was the illegitimate son of a local lawyer in the small town of Vinci in the Tuscan region.
		His father acknowledged him and paid for his training, but we may wonder whether the strangely self-sufficient tone of Leonardo's mind was not perhaps affected by his early ambiguity of status.
		What she is truly like she conceals; what Leonardo reveals to us is precisely this concealment, a self-absorption that spares no outward glance.

		Apparently Leonardo dragged his feet on completing the fresco for a year while he searched for "his Judas." The prior of the convent who was keeping tabs on the notoriously slow-working Leonardo finally complained to the Duke of Milan regarding the delay.
		The author discusses Leonardo's famous "mirror writing" and states that it was not an attempt to conceal what he was writing, as Leonardo's notebooks were workbooks rather than diaries.
		In discovering Leonardo one must contend with at least three different Leonardos--mainly those creations of Renaissance painter/historian Giorgio Vasari, the 19th century art historian Walter Pater (who rediscovered Leonardo for modern audiences), and Sigmund Freud, each of whom gave rise to their own cottage industries of legend-building and hermeneutic veilings about the Tuscan polymath.

		Kemp shows that it is the famous notebooks that reveal both the secret of Leonardo's success and genius as they clearly show how his mind worked and display the truly innovative and investigative nature of his creative vision.
		Leonardo da Vinci is certainly the name that personifies the term Renaissance Man. He lived in a time when it was possible for one man to know all that there was to know.
