Did Leonardo da Vinci, the creator of the world-renowned Mona Lisa, also design the first robot? This question sets the stage for the exploration of the enigma that is Leonardo da Vinci - a man whose genius transcended the boundaries of art to encompass science, engineering, and invention. Born in the small town of Vinci, Italy in the fifteenth century, da Vinci's intellectual curiosity was insatiable. His diverse interests led him to explore a wide array of fields, constantly pushing the boundaries of knowledge. His journey began as an apprentice to Andrea del Verrocchio, a leading artist and intellectual of Florence. Under Verrocchio's guidance, the young da Vinci was exposed to a range of disciplines, from painting and sculpture to the technicalities of mechanical arts. This period of learning and exploration set the foundation for da Vinci's later works. The young da Vinci, nurtured under Verrocchio's wing, was soon to astound the world.
