Leonardo Da Vinci

About Me



My name is Leonardo. I was born on April 15, 1452 in Vinci, Italy(which is why people now call me Leonardo Da Vinci). People call me a renaissance man. I have many interests and talents. I am not the best business man. I rarely finish commisions because I am an obsessive perfectionist. I received almost no formal education. Everything I know was taught to me by my uncle, mentors, or personal research and learning. I have an exceptional ability to cross-fertalise ideas from different subjects. I look at science from the perspective of an artist. I visualize art with the mindset of a scientist, and engineering and architecture from the viewpoint of an artist-scientist.

My Interests

Aerodynamics, Anatomy, Anthropology, Architecture, Art, Astrology, Astronomy, Biology, Cartography, Chemistry, Economics, Engineering, Genetics, Geography, Geology, Health, History, Hydraulics, Linguistics, Literature, Mathematics, Mechanics, Medicine, Meteorology, Music, Nature, Nutrition, Optics, Paleontology, Pathology, Philosophy, Physics, Politics, Psychology, Religion, Science, Sociology, Statistics, Technology, Theology, Water...

Socrates, Aristotle, Vitruvius...

Books:

Prophecy of Dreaming

Men shall walk without moving, they shall speak with those who are absent, they shall hear those who do not speak.
