Lorenzo de’ Medici, the Magnificent Lorenzo il Magnifico
Leonardo da Vinci The ideal Renaissance man was deemed capable of infinite accomplishments; but there was one caveat. Everything had to be done gracefully and seemingly without effort. According to the writer, intellectual, diplomat and soldier Baldassare Castiglione, a gentleman should be at ease in any situation without ever appearing perturbed in the slightest. Needless to say, such behavior required gargantuan patience and an equally gargantuan attention span. Aside from having been a bastard and a commoner, Leonardo da Vinci came as close to achieving the Renaissance ideal as any man in history. He was a painter, sculptor, architect, athlete, engineer, botanist, anatomist, musician, set designer, geologist and proto evolutionist. He anticipated Darwin by nearly five centuries in grasping that the Biblical account could not explain the development of geological phenomena, much less life. He studied the motion of birds’ wings and almost succeeded in understanding the principle of lift and aerodynamics. He trusted his eyes above all theories, hypotheses and beliefs. His voluminous writings and scientific detachment imply atheism or, at the very least, skepticism. It is believed that his only faith was in nature. Leonardo was a master draftsman who worked with his left hand at a time when left-handed people were considered “sinister” and potentially evil. His journals and sketchbooks were filled with “mirror” writing: backward script written from right to left. It may have been a result of his left-handedness, or he may have done it out of fear of persecution by the ignorant and superstitious authorities of his day.
Although Leonardo loved animals, hated violence and by all accounts acted with great kindness, he had no qualms about designing weapons that were centuries ahead of their time. He invented submarines, tanks, machine guns and all manner of exploding shells. He worked as a military engineer for Lodovico Sforza, duke of Milan, and Cesare Borgia, son of Pope Alexander VI. His willingness to serve the arts of war reflected his lack of emotional commitment to others. He did not hate, but apparently did not love either. There is speculation that this may have been a result of his childhood as well as the danger of being homosexual at a time when it was punishable by death. In retrospect, he seemed resigned to the stupidity and ignorance of men and saw nothing wrong in helping them destroy themselves. If there was any tragedy in his life, it was only in having had to live among lesser humans.  Leonardo spent his final years in France protected by his friend and admirer King Francis I. The bastard country boy died in the care of a king on May 2, 1519. He was the senior partner in the trinity that constituted the High Renaissance. The other two were Michelangelo and Raphael.

Her intellectual abilities paved the way for the French  salonni ères  of the 1700s.
