architecture, and is widely considered one of

Renaissance humanist ideal.Many historians
and scholars regard Leonardo as the prime
exemplar of the "Universal Genius" or
"Renaissance Man", an individual of
"unquenchable curiosity" and "feverishly
inventive imagination".. According to art
historian Helen Gardner, the scope and
depth of his interests was without precedent
in recorded history, and "his mind and
personality seem to us superhuman, while
the man himself mysterious and remote.’’
