Leonardo is one of the towering figures in the development of the Renaissance and , indeed , Western culture. He was a remarkable man and a genuine polymath who had extraordinary insights and achievements. The Florentine was able to develop new techniques in painting that revolutionized the art form , and it inspired many of the greatest painters of the Renaissance, such as Raphael. Leonardo had a great influence on sculpture and architecture in Italy during his lifetime and after. Leonardo was also a scientist and interested in a wide range of subjects. His scientific discoveries, such as those in anatomy , were kept secret, largely out of fear of the Church.  However, his approach to study and his interest in nature, inspired many people to adopt a more modern an outlookthat veered from the teachings of the day. Leonardo was a designer and inventor of genius. However, most of his ideas remained only ideas and often impractical. Therefore, his inventions made little impact on the Renaissance.
