He is a discoverer, an inventor and has keen eye for details. This led him to create engineering illustrations of devices that foreshadow engineering wonders of the next 5 centuries. He is also a man of irony. He loved animals and was a vegetarian yet he worked for the military by devising illustrations of destructive weapons. He is a master of Renaissance painting, but somehow, only a handful of paintings were completed. Nonetheless, Da Vinci has proven that his worth is not in numbers but in quality. The quality and detail he put in creating his masterpieces like Mona Lisa still baffles the art world till now. However, his drawings and illustrations were his finest documents of his legacy.
