Leonardo da Vinci was an Italian scientist, botanist, anatomist, engineer, inventor, mathematician, architect, sculptor, musician, writer, and painter. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest painters of all time and the most talented polymath who ever lived. He was born in 1452 in Vinci, Italy, and died in 1519.
As an engineer, da Vinci conceptualized many of our modern inventions such as helicopters, tanks, calculators, and solar power. However, most of his inventions could not be constructed because the science of his time was not advanced enough.
李奧納多．達文西是義大利的科學家、植物學家、解剖學家、工程師、發明家、數學家、建築師、雕刻師、音樂家、作家與畫家。達文西被公認為世上最偉大的畫家之一，以及最才華洋溢的博學家。他於1452 年生於義大利芬奇，卒於1519 年。
達文西擔任工程師時，構思出許多現代發明的概念，例如直升機、坦克車、計算機和太陽能。但由於當時的科技不夠先進，導致他的多數發明均無疾而終。
As an anatomist, da Vinci cut open human corpses and drew the human skeleton and its parts: muscles and sinews, sex organs, and various internal organs. He recorded his studies of science and engineering in notebooks, leaving 13,000 pages of drawings, scientific diagrams, and ideas about the nature of painting. His studies about anatomy, art, and engineering are brought together in his illustration, The Vitruvian Man. This illustration shows a beautifully detailed man moving his arms and legs in a symmetrical, realistic way. Because of his detailed study of human anatomy, da Vinci could create incredibly realistic drawings and paintings. His most famous paintings are the Mona Lisa and The Last Supper.
而身為一位解剖學家，達文西曾解剖人類大體，以及描繪人類骨骼與其構造，包括肌肉與肌腱、性器與各種臟器。他將科學與工程方面的研究，都記錄在筆記本中，其中包含了一萬三千頁的素描、科學圖表以及對繪畫的理念。他的插圖作品《維特魯威人》集結了他對解剖學、藝術與工程學的研究。此插圖描繪一名栩栩如生的男子，以真實的對稱方式移動手腳。由於達文西對人類解剖學的研究十分詳盡，因此他能夠創造出不可思議的寫實素描與畫作。最家喻戶曉的作品就是《蒙娜麗莎的微笑》和《最後的晚餐》。
Da Vinci’s father was a Florentine notary. His mother was a peasant woman or possibly a slave from the Middle East. When he was 14 years old, he went to work in the studio of a famous painter. It was there that he began to learn the skills he would master so completely.
We know very little about da Vinci’s life. Luckily, some of his work remains behind to inspire us.
達文西的父親是佛羅倫斯的法院公證員，母親出身農家，也有一說可能是來自中東的奴隸。達文西十四歲時，到一位知名畫家的畫坊學藝，因而習得讓他運用自如的繪畫技巧。
雖然達文西的生平事蹟鮮為人知，但幸好他遺留下了啟迪人心的作品。
