Leonardo da Vinci can be characterized as a true Renaissance Man because he was respected by many people through his unbelievable skills. Da Vinci was a scientist because he was the first man to dissect the dead human bodies and observe the structure of them. Through these, Da Vinci began to draw paintings with anatomically accurate drawings of people. Source 7 in the Renaissance textbook shows Leonardo’s sketches of the muscles of human bodies. This sketch is very accurate with specific details of the human’s arm muscles. Leonardo’s sketches in his notebook were so realistic and important it remains in museums today in some manuscripts. Also, in portrait paintings, Leonardo shows great skills of being an artist, showing people’s feelings through the facial expressions painted. Source 15 shows the portrait of Mona Lisa, in which we can feel her mysterious smile through the realistic painting. As shown in Sources 13 and 17, Leonardo made experiments in drawing machines that were used for fights and wars. Therefore, Duke discovered Leonardo’s skill and commissioned Da Vinci to design weapons, buildings and machinery. This made Leonardo da Vinci as a scientist. Leonardo’s fabulous skills and the effort to try new things, had made Florence arts and many other things more strong and powerful.http://www.google.com/images?hl=ko&biw=1362&bih=596&rlz=1R2SKPB_koMY391&q=leonardo%20da%20vinci&um=1&ie=UTF-8&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi
