LEONARDO DA VINCI Renaissance Man, Classical Roots

You know him for the Mona Lisa, but did you know da Vinci was also a scientist, inventor, engineer, and all-around genius? While he didn't attend a "classical school," he embodied the quadrivium (arithmetic, geometry, music, and astronomy) in his work. His art was based on math, his inventions on scientific principles, and his notebooks were full of observations about the world. Da Vinci shows us that classical learning isn't just about old books – it's about understanding the interconnectedness of everything!
