Accomplishments
Although relatively few of da Vinci’s paintings and sculptures survive, primarily due to his small output of finished projects and difficulty locating his art, two of his extant works are among the world’s most well-known and admired paintings, Mona-Lisa and The Last Supper.
Da Vinci lead the Renaissance period with his theories and art styles, creating a base template for the generations of innovators in the discovery of all new information and knowledge on the simplest of things in life.
Flying machines, defense techniques, artistic styles, all come together to form the Renaissance, and Leonardo helped create and lead this new era. Da Vinci truly accomplished many amazing works that even today are still admired by their beauty. His knowledge of anatomy, physics, outdo any other to live, creating a human that contributed to our knowledge more than anybody imaginable.
Da Vinci caused revolution in the art world. He was one of the first to introduce perception and positioning on a 3D image. He created forms off of correct anatomical form rather than perfect figures with unrealistic bliss. The was he created his art forms differed from other artist before him, causing him to stand out to lead the Renaissance period. He caused major changes in the accurate presentation of human skeletons, muscles, and form itself, causing Leonardo to be a true innovator of art.

Leonardo da Vinci: "The Last Supper"
The first is da Vinci’s “The Last Supper,” painted during his time in Milan, from about 1495 to 1498. A tempera and oil mural on plaster, “The Last Supper” was created for the refectory of the city’s Monastery of Santa Maria delle Grazie. Also known as “The Cenacle,” this work measures about 15 by 29 feet and is the artist’s only surviving fresco. It depicts the Passover dinner during which Jesus Christ addresses the Apostles and says, “One of you shall betray me.” One of the painting’s stellar features is each Apostle’s distinct emotive expression and body language. Its composition, in which Jesus is centered among yet isolated from the Apostles, has influenced generations of painters.
