A Renaissance Man is someone who has many great accomplishments. Back in the Renaissance there were many great Renaissance men. All of them had different accomplishments and most of them are well-known today. I believe that Leonardo da Vinci best represented a Renaissance Man.
Da Vinci had many great accomplishments in his time. He had ideas for flights: such as the helicopter; http://www.leonardo-da-vinci-biography.com/da-vinci-helicopter.html. It wasn't invented when he was alive, but it came about many years later. Also, he had ideas for a tank: http://www.leonardo-da-vinci-biography.com/da-vinci-invention-tank.html. That, too, didn't come about until after he had died. Finally, he had painted the world famous painting: The Last Supper; http://www.leonardo-da-vinci-biography.com/the-last-supper.html. Most of his ideas aren't recognized as his, but many of the things we have and use today were thought of by Da Vinci. That is why I believe he portrays the best Renaissance Man.
