Due to his portrait of the Mona Lisa, Leonardo da Vinci (1452 - 1519) became one of the greatest artists of all time. The fascination with the painting, which was created between 1503 and 1506, is still strong to this very day. Since the beginning of the 19th century, the Mona Lisa has been exhibited in the Louvre of Paris, where it is visited by thousands of people on a daily basis. However, it would be a sacrilege to reduce Leonardo da Vinci to his work as a painter, as he is also said to be one of the greatest universal scholars of his time. His studies in the fields of anatomy, architecture, statuary art and machine construction were immensely significant for following scholars.
