A Renaissance Man is an ideal that developed in Renaissance Italy according to which men should try to embrace all knowledge and develop their capacities as fully as possible. A Renaissance Man was versatile, educated, and well-rounded; he was also a gifted person and an expert in a wide range of different subjects and areas of knowledge. This is why Da Vinci, a gifted artist, scientists, musician, inventor, and writer, is considered one of the clearest examples of what a Renaissance Man is.
