Little was it known that he would step at such a podium of success, which would guide the Scientists, Philosophers, Engineers and of course Artists into the framework of answers. Leonardo da Vinci was one of the leading intellectual of the Italian Renaissance who's known for his enduring works "The Last Supper" and "Mona Lisa."
