Famous left-hander[]

Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci (April 15, 1452 – May 2, 1519,) was an Italian Renaissance polymath: painter, sculptor, architect, musician, scientist, mathematician, engineer, inventor, anatomist, geologist, cartographer, botanist, and writer. The scientific debate about Leonardo da Vinci's handedness is old. Based on the documents we classify him as true left-handed - his reputation as the most famous left-handed artist of Western cultural history certainly justifies the classification as a lefty. Moreover, he wrote many of his notes in mirror writing, a typical leftie's ability.
