What makes a renaissance man?
Leonardo Da Vinci makes a renaissance man because he affected the world, spread his ideas, and made new discoveries. During the renaissance he focused on these topics such as painting, architecture, the elements of mechanics, and human anatomy. He came up with brilliant ideas and new discoveries in each topic. He spread his ideas throughout the world because he wrote all of his work on a notebook so that when someone finds it he/she can gain knowledge. He made new discoveries when dissecting corpses and animals because he then knew what the inside of a human and animal looked like and this affected his paintings too. After his discoveries, people are then able to paint true art with texture, correct outlines of a human body, etc. The Mona Lisa became one of the famous paintings in the world because he was able to paint it with his skills and knowledge. People then followed his steps but was never as good as him. These are the reasons why Leonardo Da Vinci became a renaissance man.
