Leonardo da Vinci can be characterized as a true renaissance man because he was a great leader as he was one of the artists to start the rebirth of art in his time. He mostly started the change of art by using all of these different techniques that weren't used before like sfumato, anatomical accuracy, shading, and more. I would also call him a true renaissance man because the renaissance is all about discoveries and Leonardo invented many things in his time. These inventions helped the renaissance develop and are still used today. One of Leonardo's biggest inventions was the first flying machine which is a big thing in that time and inspired many others to start inventing new ideas. One of leonardo's famous paintings is the Last Supper which inspired many other renaissance artists into painting because it was a religious painting, yet it wasn't focusing on Jesus that much it focuses about all of the men's expressions around the table. If Leonardo da Vinci hadn't become a true renaissance man, the renaissance wouldn't have developed as fast without his ideas and artwork.
