Leonardo da Vinci created the two most famous paintings in history: The Last Supper and Mona Lisa. But, in his own mind, he was just as much a man science and engineering. with passion that sometimes become obsessive, he pursued innovative studies of anatomy, fossils, birds, the heart, flying machines, botany, geology and weaponry. His ability to stand at the crossroads of the humanities and the sciences, made iconic by his drawing of Vitruvian Man, established him as history's most creative genius.
