Even nearly 600 years from the time he was born, Leonardo da Vinci remains a renowned artist, mathematician, writer, and inventor. He is particularly significant to the worlds of art and culture thanks to the lasting legacy of his works and ideas.
His status as one of the world's all-time great artists is cemented thanks to the fact that two of his paintings are among some of the most beloved pieces of art ever created. He began work on what might be the world's best-known painting—The Mona Lisa—in 1503. This was just a few years after he finished his three-year project of painting The Last Supper on the back wall of the dining hall in the Milan’s Santa Maria delle Grazie monastery.
Because da Vinci was an inventor who challenged ideas of what was possible, his cultural significance remains today. Though the helicopter wasn't invented until the twentieth century, da Vinci's fifteenth century sketches are believed to have established the framework for these flying machines. He is also credited for inventing early iterations of scuba gear, the parachute, and the first robot.
