Brief Info: Inventor, painter, sculptor philosopher and scientist, Leonardo da Vinci has left a legacy of important works in art as well as inventions that often didn't come to fruition for hundreds of years after his death, including the tank and the parachute. da Vinci often failed to complete what he started, becoming distracted with new ideas and projects. It took him 17 years to complete just six works, including The Last Supper. When he wasn't painting, he was involved in a range of studies, from mechanics and architecture to combat devices, including the idea of a submarine. He meticulously kept a record of these activities in illustrated notebooks, many of which have survived to end up in private and public collections.
