Leonardo da Vinci
Leonardo da Vinci
One of the most celebrated artists of all time. The Italian Renaissance artist was a engineer, architect, master painter, sculptor, anatomist and inventor. Leonardo is considered to be a genius, creating some of the most famous paintings ever painted and known as the Mona Lisa and the Last Supper. His notebooks were filled with drawings of many inventions that anticipated modern technology (flying machines, submarines and war machines), but were rarely constructed in his lifetime.

Among other inventions of the master, there were machines like a cog-wheeled device that has been interpreted as the first mechanical calculator, and a car powered by a spring mechanism. Moreover, he made contributed to advance the studies of civil engineering, anatomy and astronomy. During his years in the Vatican, da Vinci planned an industrial use of solar power, by employing concave mirrors to heat water. (1452 - 1519)
