The correct answer is Leonardo da Vinci

Humanism was an artistic and intellectual movement that emerged in Italy in the 14th century and that valued Classical Antiquity. For humanists, man was the measure of all things and was at the center of the universe (anthropocentrism). Thus, they considered man not only a spectator of God's work, but, endowed with reason, he was the author of great achievements. This view contradicted the Church, which saw man marked by sin and dependent on faith for the salvation of the soul. However, humanists sought a balance between the pagan authors of antiquity and the Christian teachings of the Bible.

Inspired by humanists, Italian artists started a cultural movement known as the Renaissance. The great interest of the Renaissance was to recover elements of Greco-Roman culture for their day.

Born in the city of Vinci, Italy, Leonardo is considered one of the greatest artists of the Renaissance. He had great aptitude in several areas of knowledge, standing out in painting, sculpture, anatomy, engineering, cartography and botany.

During the Renaissance, anatomy studies had a great development, and Leonardo was an important figure in this process. For him, the study of human anatomy was an important tool to aid the artist, as it allowed the representation of the body, in painting or sculpture, to be as close as possible to reality. To acquire this knowledge, Leonardo performed several dissections, drawing in detail internal parts of the human body. With this, in addition to contributing to the development of painting, he promoted the scientific advancement of medicine.

Leonardo da Vinci was very important for humanity. Due to his varied interests, he left projects in several branches of knowledge. His paintings are among the most important in history and are acclaimed and studied worldwide. The studies he carried out in anatomy anticipated many ideas about the functioning of the human body. Thus, Leonardo symbolizes, in all his characteristics, the complete artist of the Renaissance.
