Leonardo da Vinci personificó el ideal renacentista, destacando no solo como pintor y escultor, sino también como arquitecto, ingeniero y científico. Su profunda curiosidad por el cuerpo humano y el mundo natural dio lugar a estudios anatómicos meticulosamente detallados que sirvieron tanto al arte como a la medicina. Aunque muchos de sus ambiciosos proyectos quedaron inacabados, sus cuadernos revelan una mente que se adelantó siglos a su tiempo, explorando la mecánica, la física y los fenómenos naturales. El legado de Leonardo es el de una indagación incesante, desafiando las convenciones y ampliando las fronteras del conocimiento.
