Summary
Spod pędzla Leonarda wyszły dwa najsłynniejsze obrazy w historii malarstwa: Ostatnia Wieczerza i Mona Lisa. On sam uważał się jednak nie tylko za malarza, ale też za naukowca i inżyniera. Z pasją graniczącą niekiedy z obsesją prowadził nowatorskie badania nad anatomią człowieka, skamieniałościami, ptakami, maszynami latającymi, botaniką, geologią i sztuką projektowania broni.
