Answer 1

Leonardo da Vinci, April 15, 1452 – May 2, 1519) He was so far ahead of his time when it came to his intellect and talent he has come to represent the entire Renaissance. He was so much like modern thinkers.  He was an Italian polymath, having been a scientist, mathematician, engineer, inventor, anatomist, painter, sculptor, architect, botanist, musician and writer.  Although illegitimate and probably homosexual he non the less was almost like a freak of nature as compared to the average human intellect of that period.
