Leonardo da Vinci was a gifted painter, talented musician, and dedicated scientist and inventor, designing flying machines, submarines, and even helicopters. Yet he had a hard time finishing things, a problem anyone can relate to.

Here is an accessible portrait of a fascinating man who lived at a fascinating time—Italy during the Renaissance.
