As well as skills in art mediums of painting and drawing, Leonardo also went onto achieve success in a whole other set of disciplines in which he would also add his customary innovation. Although his art is the main focus of this article, much of it fits closely with other fields in which he was involved. For example, his sketches in some cases depicted some ingenious inventions, though only at a very low level that at the time seemed impossible dreams. The genius of Leonardo da Vinci is underlined by how many of these inventions later became full products centuries later.]]></description>

Both specifically underline both the poor life that the artist lived for much of his life but also show how he was interested in the relatively mundane objects from the lives of the more disadvantaged people in the late 19th century. Typically at this time artists were only interested in covering the famous and wealthy within their art. Vincent van Gogh admitted that he never had the money to produce figurative paintings and if he had enough money for models he would have focused entirely on this type of painting and neglected other ideas. Without figurative works he found inspiration and great interest in simple objects that he found in and around his relatively modest lifestyle and these also served as symbolic items for portraying the lives of the poor at that time.]]></description>
