Even if Leonardo Da Vinci had just been an artist and painter, he would still have been a great, just for the Last Supper and Mona Lisa.But Leonardo Da Vinci was not just a painter and artist. He was also an engineer, architect, scientist, inventor, cartographer, anatomist, botanist and writer. He was not what you call a "Jack of all Trades", he was a master in almost every field, in effect a true Polymath and genius.As Leonardo Da Vinci had no formal education in Latin or Mathematics, many tended to overlook his scientific work. But one look at his notes and journals, showed this was one man, whose thought was way ahead of his times. He made notes about the human fetus and movement of the arm.If we look at his notes and drawings, it is clear that Da Vinci had an understanding of the human body that was leagues ahead of his time. In fact, it corresponds very much to the later medical discoveries of the human body.Not just that he also studied the effect of light on spheres, and he implemented that in his paintings. Notably the extreme contrast of light and shadow in his paintings was the result of his study on effect of light.He was one of the earliest persons to study the dimensions of the human body, dissected human corpses to study anatomy, made drawings on them, that are pretty much similar to drawings of any medical student.He drew maps at a time when Cartography was not yet an advanced science.One of his other major contributions was to mathematics, when he studied the polyhedra in his journals.Much before any one else he also conceptualized the tank and helicopter in his drawings.Leonardo Da Vinci had a tremendous knowledge of hydraulic principles, mechanical designs, cantilevers, pulleys. He knew the principles of momentum, centripetal force, and actually applied them to his inventions.In short Leonardo Da Vinci was not just a brilliant artist; he was an equally great scientist, inventor and architect, whose ideas were way ahead of his time.

“I have offended God and mankind because my work did not reach the quality it should have.”Spoken by a man who is probably the least deserving to ever speak such words.Leonardo Da Vinci.But there is more behind those words.Da Vinci was notoriously ADD—he would start and then not finish works, commonly switching between things. He was also a chronic procrastinator.Consequently, he only finished 15 paintings, which for a long life lived as a painter—is a remarkably small number. He had many, many unfinished paintings:(Unfinished: Saint Jerome—praying in the wilderness .)Later in life—Da Vinci suffered what many think was a stroke—which caused irreversible nerve damage in his hands. Consequently, his life of procrastination haunted him with the painful reality that those unfinished paintings would remain unfinished.As absurd as Da Vinci’s last words were, it is quite possible that he did indeed fail to live up to his full potential-- a notion that will make even the best artists feel a sense of both awe and inferiority.But keep your chin up Da Vinci—if ever the term “Quality over Quantity” applied—it was to you.
