Renaissance Man

“There are three classes of people:
Those who see.
Those who see when they are shown.
Those who do not see.”
—Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo (1452-1519) was an Italian inventor, painter, sculptor, architect, scientist, mathematician, engineer, anatomist, geologist, astronomer, botanist, writer, and more — the very definition of a Renaissance man.

The portrait of Leonardo in the meme is c1515, and is attributed to Leonardo’s student Francesco Melzi (c1491-1570).
