Leonardo Inventor , philosopher, artist, scientist - Leonardo da Vinci was the true universal Man of the Renaissance. He analysed the movement of water and the structure of the earth, invented weapons and aircraft - as well as a water-operated alarm clock - and drew the human body over and over again, yet his fame still rests on his paintings, notably the Mona Lisa and the Last Supper. As a new exhibition opens at the Hayward Gallery, Richard Cork analyses the enduring fascination of this remarkable man.
