Abstract

The figure of Leonardo, according to the Renaissance ideal of homo universalis, admired and continues to surprise those who approach him. A halo of mystery surrounds him. The scarce artistic production contrasts with the abundance of observations and inventions. His notebooks bear witness to the multiplicity of his interests. Historians of art, science and philosophy have made their fruitful research a subject of study. This is how it became a myth. Not without reason has the question been asked: "Was Leonardo essentially an artist, scientist, or philosopher?" They dealt with Leonardo, Vasari, his first biographer, and then Goethe, Winckelmann, Burkhard, Valery. We present here three approaches to the question proposed by Benedetto Croce, Giovanni Gentile and Karl Jaspers, preceded by a biographical sketch and concluding with the portrayal that our poet Leopoldo Lugones evokes of Leonardo.
