Italian Renaissance painter, engineer and inventor who painted the 蒙娜丽莎 (Mona Lisa) and The Last Supper. Chinese schoolchildren learn the story of him drawing eggs over and over as a boy.
达芬奇 is not a surname: 'da Vinci' means 'from Vinci', the Tuscan town where he grew up, so art historians call him Leonardo, 列奥纳多. Dan Brown's novel The Da Vinci Code is 《达·芬奇密码》 in Chinese.
