Brief Explanations:

Leonardo da Vinci was a true "Renaissance man." He was not only an outstanding artist (known for masterpieces like the Mona Lisa and The Last Supper), but also a brilliant inventor (he had numerous sketches of flying machines, war machines, etc.), a scientist (he studied anatomy, optics, etc.), and a writer. His wide - ranging expertise across different fields is what made him the quintessential example of a Renaissance man. Michelangelo was mainly known for his sculpture (e.g., David) and painting (Sistine Chapel ceiling). Donatello was a great sculptor. Botticelli was a painter (e.g., The Birth of Venus), but none of them had the same breadth of expertise across multiple non - art fields as da Vinci.

Answer:

da Vinci.
