Whom of the following individuals best exemplifies a true "Renaissance Man"?
Answers
Renaissance man, also called Universal Man, Italian Uomo Universale, an ideal that developed in Renaissance Italy from the notion expressed by one of its most-accomplished representatives, Leon Battista Alberti (1404–72), that “a man can do all things if he will.” The ideal embodied the basic tenets of Renaissance humanism, which considered man the centre of the universe, limitless in his capacities for development, and led to the notion that men should try to embrace all knowledge and develop their own capacities as fully as possible.
Thus the gifted men of the Renaissance sought to develop skills in all areas of knowledge, in physical development, in social accomplishments, and in the arts. The ideal was most brilliantly exemplified in Alberti—who was an accomplished architect, painter, classicist, poet, scientist, and mathematician and who also boasted of his skill as a horseman and in physical feats—and in Leonardo da Vinci (1452–1519), whose gifts were manifest in the fields of art, science, music, invention, and writing.

Renaissance man is a title or a term used to address or to allude to a person who is great at various different things.
As the idea behind the terminilogy dates back to the Renaissance period, thus it would be safe to say that the first and true Renaissance Man would have to be Leonardo da Vinci, as he was not only a world renowned painter, but was also a scientist and inventor.
