Undoubtedly one of the most well-known Renaissance figures, Leonardo da Vinci has ascended beyond the realm of artist, appearing more as mythic or legendary. This episode explores not only how that came to be, but also why it is important that we look at his life with a touch of scrutiny in order to better understand Leonardo as he was, rather than how he was mythologized.

This episode likewise covers some essential information on Leonardo's life, his training, and his intent focus of reproducing Nature, and what he called the science of painting.
