About this listen

This episode explores the extraordinary life of Leonardo da Vinci, the quintessential Renaissance figure whose insatiable curiosity and creativity bridged the worlds of art and science. Born in 1452, Leonardo trained in Florence and quickly distinguished himself as an artist of rare talent. His masterpieces, including The Last Supper and Mona Lisa, captured human emotion and mystery in ways that continue to fascinate the world.

But Leonardo’s genius extended far beyond painting. His notebooks brimmed with sketches of flying machines, anatomical studies, hydraulic systems, and engineering marvels centuries ahead of their time. Though many of his designs remained unbuilt, they revealed a mind constantly searching for patterns in nature and connections between disciplines. For Leonardo, art and science were inseparable.

Despite his brilliance, he often left projects unfinished, his restless imagination moving faster than the world could follow. Yet his legacy endures as a symbol of human potential and creativity. Leonardo da Vinci’s voice changed the world not with one invention or painting, but with a vision that knowledge is limitless and beauty is found in the pursuit of understanding.
