	Leonardo Da Vinci Golden Mean, Leonardo Da Vinci Golden Ratio
		Prevalent in the major works of Leonardo Da Vinci and underlying many of his design compositions, is the Golden Ratio ("Golden Mean"), a ratio of approximately 1:1.618, found in nature and creation, and inherent in the Fibonacci sequence.
		In Leonardo Da Vinci's painting of the Mona Lisa, a Golden Rectangle frames central elements in the composition, and a Golden Triangle is evident as a composition framing element.
		In Leonardo Da Vinci's Last Supper fresco, the Golden Ratio (rear wall and windows) and other relationships based on Fibonacci Numbers (foreground, table and disciple's feet) may be found in the relationship of elements in the composition.

	Biography
		Leonardo da Vinci was a Florentine artist, one of the great masters of the High Renaissance, who was also celebrated as a painter, sculptor, architect, engineer, and scientist.
		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.
