Leonardo da Vinci was true Renaissance man. We can tell that because he always used new ideas in his painting like anatomical accuracy. He also showed how actually was a child born and the muscles in a human body. He also made the propotional man in which he drew himself. He was also intrested in drawings, anotomy, portraits, machinery engineering and civil engineering.
In search of new challenges and the big bucks, he entered the service of the Duke of Milan in 1482, abandoning his first commission in Florence, "The Adoration of the Magi". He spent 17 years in Milan, leaving only after Duke Ludovico Sforza's fall from power in 1499. It was during these years that Leonardo hit his stride, reaching new heights of scientific and artistic achievement.
From 1513 to 1516, he worked in Rome, maintaining a workshop and undertaking a variety of projects for the Pope. He continued his studies of human anatomy and physiology, but the Pope forbade him from dissecting cadavers, which truly cramped his style.
