Leonardo DaVinci is not only one of the most famous artists in history, he was also a botanist, a writer and an inventor. Even though most of his inventions were not
actually built in his lifetime, many of today’s modern machines can be traced back to
some of his original designs. The parachute, the military tank, the bicycle and even the
airplane were foretold in the imaginative drawings that can still be seen in the fragments
of Leonardo’s notebooks. Over 500 years ago, this man conceived ideas that were far
ahead of his time.
