What artist is this narration about?

He was the greatest artist in the world. He was also an astronomer, an architect, and an engineer who made hundreds of inventions. He loved to make wonderful machines. His imagination made him impatient, and it was hard for him to finish anything.

He would buy lovely birds at the bird market. Taking them to his tower, he set them free. He studied their flight carefully. I, too, will fly, he thought.

So he made a machine with wings and ropes and pedals, and his youngest pupil tested it. The machine trembled and shook like a bowl of pudding, but it did not fly. He made many such machines.

Next, he made the giant figure of a man on horseback. It was to be the largest statue in the world, but it was never cast in bronze. Some said the metal was sent off to make a cannon. Some said that he did not know how to finish the statue.

He made drawings of the bones, muscles, and organs of human beings and animals. He also explored the life of plants, flowers, and trees. His 5000 pages of notebooks are a jumble of notes and drawings. He drew stars, flowers, geometrical forms, and a horse’s head side by side.

He studied the heavens and made notes of wonders of the landscape of the skies.

In 1492 most people believed that the earth was the center of the Universe, steadfast and immovable. With the sun and stars revolving around it.

His studies told him something else. In his notebooks he wrote lefthanded and backwards. Why? Perhaps it was to keep people from reading what they could not understand. In one notebook is the sentence: EVOM TON SEOD NUS ENT (THE SUN DOES NOT MOVE).

This narration is about Leonardo da Vinci
