Leonardo da Vinci and the integration of science and art

Renaissance humanism is characterized by the lack of collective polarity between the sciences and the arts. Leonardo da Vinci’s training in technology and engineering is frequently cited as being both incredible and imaginative in relation to his artistic works.

Various reports exist regarding his drawings, many of which are identified as preparatory for specific works, including the Adoration of the Magi, The Virgin of the Rocks, and The Last Supper. Historical accounts by Vasari have noted the exceptional quality of his paintings.
