His areas of interest included invention, painting, sculpting, architecture, science, music, mathematics, engineering, literature, anatomy, geology, astronomy, botany, writing, history, and cartography. He has been variously called the father of palaeontology, ichnology, and architecture, and is widely considered one of the greatest painters of all time. Sometimes credited with the inventions of the parachute, helicopter and tank, he epitomised the Renaissance humanist ideal. </p> </div> <span class="more" id="auhtor_info_more" more="more" less="Less">more</span> <ul class="author__about__options"><li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leonardo_da_Vinci" class="i-wiki" target="_blank" itemprop="url" title="Wikipedia article about Leonardo da Vinci"></a></li></ul> </div> </section> <div class="switch"> <ul class="switch-view" role="menu"> <li id="switch_cards" role="menuitem" class="active"><i class="i-cards" title="view_as_cards"></i></li> <li id="switch_list" role="menuitem"><i class="i-list" title="view_as_list"></i></li> </ul> </div> <ul class="quotes--cards"> <li class="quotes-item" itemscope="" itemtype="http://schema.org/Quotation"> <blockquote itemprop="text"> <a href="/a5027/18012/">Every action needs to be prompted by a motive.
