According to Frank Zöllner, most of Leonardo da Vinci art, drawings, painting, and scientific research are known because of the notes he wrote.

He was an attractive, multi-talented young man who astonished his contemporaries as a visual artist. However, he was known to start most of his works without finishing them (Cremante, 2005).
