Explanation:

Leonardo da Vinci represents the hallmark of the Renaissance as a cultural and Humanist movement. He was a polymath, which is a person well versed in a great variety of topics. Da Vinci achieved expertise in painting, sculpture, architecture, anatomy and medicine studies, engineering, machine invention, and many other fields, making revolutionary contributions to all of them. His work was really futuristic since he designed flying machines, submarines, and war tanks centuries before they were invented. This advanced vision of technology and art could only be developed by a brilliant mind during the Renaissance, because it was during this epoch that, for the first time, science revolutionized human thinking allowing a new approach to the study of nature and new technological inventions.

Due to the fact that his designs were so advanced in time, centuries have passed until science finally caught up with Da Vinci's inventions. It was until the 20th century, around four centuries after Da Vinci, that humanity invented the submarine, the airplane, and the war tank.
