Leonardo da Vinci is a great Italian painter who lived in the High Renaissance. He created his own pictorial language, but his many developments in the field of mathematics, mechanics, and natural sciences remained to his offspring. The author of the work managed to express his attitude to a person who was out of the general row and the breadth of erudition, and the depth of the problems posed to himself, and the power of intelligence, and the amount of talent released to him by God. He left only a few dozen paintings, but almost each of them is a masterpiece. Scientists are still fighting over the "riddles" of the great genius - and not all of them can be solved.
