How did his scientific curiosity, from dissections of cadavers to studies of optics, shape his genius and help him create perhaps the most famous painting of all time, the "Mona Lisa"?
The Mona Lisa is certainly the most famous painting in the world, but in terms of actual quality I think it's pretty average relative to other works on display at major museums like the Louvre.
Still, LDV is one of the most brilliant men of all time.

While I prefer the prime version of Madonna on the Rocks, which also hangs in the Louvre it is hard to argue his mastery of portraiture. His ability to express the complexity of simple human emotion is unsurpassed except maybe by some of the Dutch Masters. The hair and net brush strokes are supposed to be amazing on the Mona Lisa but a pleb like me can't get near close enough to appreciate them.
