Leonardo da Vinci was born on April 15, 1452. He was an Italian Renaissance architect, musician, anatomist, inventor, engineer, sculptor, geometer, and painter. A "Renaissance man", Leonardo demonstrated a universal genius. He is well known for his paintings, such as The Last Supper and Mona Lisa which are two of the most recognizable pieces of art since his time. He is known for designing many inventions that couldn’t be made because the technology was not available. He persevered anyway and kept his ideas even though only a few of his designs were constructed during his life. Leonardo also helped advance the study of anatomy, astronomy, and civil engineering.
Leonardo da Vinci serves as our patron icon for World Creativity and Innovation Week because his example reminds us we can achieve genius in our everyday life by following his principles. He didn’t stay with the status quo, instead he nurtured and used his curiosity, mixed logic with emotion, and embraced ambiguity.
