Correct Answer:

Leonardo was a painter,an architect,a musician,a mathematician,an engineer,and an inventor and,in this way,fulfilled the requirements of a "Renaissance man" as a man who was accomplished in many pursuits,who was cultured,and who was courteous.Da Vinci symbolized what was expected of a great man in the Renaissance as well as the changes taking place in the Renaissance.His ability to succeed in finding patrons in spite of his status as the illegitimate son of a notary reflected the social mobility of the Renaissance and the increasing worth of artistic and intellectual production.Leonardo's understanding of his craft as a creator of art,rather than a hired technician,also reflected a new understanding of the place and purpose of art in the Renaissance.His devotion to nature was also a passion of the Renaissance and enabled him to create pieces that accurately reflected not only the physical world,but also the emotion and psychological reactions of his subjects.
