Famous Geniuses
Leonardo Da Vinci, who was born in Italy in 1452, was possibly one of the greatest geniuses that ever lived. He is perhaps best known as the painter of the Mona Lisa, but his real genius went far beyond merely creating the most famous work of art in the world. Da Vinci was a true “polymath” – one who mastered many different fields, not only art and sculpture but also anatomy, mathematics and science.
When people think of a real genius, the name “Albert Einstein” comes to mind as the force behind the most dramatic scientific developments in the 20th century and as a moving force behind scientific and intellectual innovation. The genius of Albert Einstein amazed even the greatest minds of his generation, and his theory of relativity was the most influential theory since that of Sir Isaac Newton.
Amadeus Mozart was a real genius. Not just a real genius, but he was a child genius. This child prodigy did more before he was a teenager than most people do in a lifetime. Before he was even five years old, Mozart could master complicated scherzos in just a half an hour.
