Intellect!

"Just as iron rusts from disuse, even so does inaction spoil the intellect."

Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) was an Italian renaissance architect, artist painter, sculptor, engineer, anatomist, inventor, musician and geometer. His birth name was Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci. Da Vinci in his name means from Vinci. He was born on 15 April 1452 in a farmhouse in Anchiano 3 km away from Vinci, Italy and died on 2 May 1519.

Leonardo da Vinci‘s Mona Lisa has made him fame through centuries. He has achieved also some other great works such as The Last Supper, Vitruvian Man, Mary Magdalene, the Hand and Knife, the Madona of the Rocks, Madonna Litta, The Baptism of Christ, The Virgin with Flowers, Lady with an Ermine, Annunciation, Adoration of the Magi, The Benois Madonna, Last Supper, Leda and the Swan, Bacchus, La belle Ferronière and Portrait of a Musician.

Leonardo da Vinci invented the tank and the use of the concentrated solar power and the calculator, beside some other inventories. He presented detailed studies of flight, based on birds examples and prepared plans for several flying machines including his helicopter which powered by four men.

Leonardo da Vinci achieved some civil engineering projects including his bridge for the Turkish government. Design based on that bridge was applied in Norway in 2001 and in 2006 the Turkish authorities decided to construct his bridge. The Da Vinci Code shows the encoding methods developed by Leonardo da Vinci during his experiments and career.
