The Renaissance: The period of ‘rebirth’ throughout Europe. It was the time when everything from the past was adjusted and new things were invented every day. And Leonardo Da Vinci, who hugely impacted the Renaissance in aspects of art, architecture, human anatomy, civil engineering, and military weapons etc, could truly be described as a ‘Renaissance man’. For example, many of his sketches of the inside of a human body broke the “belief” made by the church. Things looked completely different from what the church had told them. From this, people were able to understand how the human body functioned more easily, which resulted in better medical science and the huge development of medicines. Also many of Da Vinci’s sketches handling new and lethal weapons for warfare between city states was one of his inventions that still amaze many of us today. Amongst all, his design of the turtle-like tank vehicle is probably the most effective. Some say that it is Leonardo’s design that led to the modern-day tanks that we have now. The Renaissance without Da Vinci wouldn’t be as significant as it is now and this is why Leonardo Da Vinci is truly a ‘Renaissance Man’
