* AmbiguouslyGay: He or characters based on him are sometimes portrayed this way, due to a long-standing rumor that he had relations with one of his male models, and a court case where he was charged with sodomy (which was dismissed on a technicality, as many such cases were, since the Florentine government didn't actually care).

Also, bear in mind that sodomy was also used to refer to various types of non-procreative sexual activity, which could be between both same-sex and opposite-sex couples.

Besides above-ground art, Leonardo also trafficked in the shady world of anatomy, secretly procuring corpses and dissecting them (an act that could get you killed at the time) to study the human body.

Leo was probably what we would call homosexual today (as such a word didn’t exist until the 1860s) but due to the passage of time, it’s difficult to say such definitively. When he was 23, he was arrested on a sodomy charge after reportedly hiring a male prostitute. He never wrote much about his personal life but in one of his journals wrote about how disgusting he found procreation. That may be due to him being gay but can also be interpreted as him being (again to use a modern term) asexual. Some believe that after he was arrested for sodomy, he became celibate while others argue that he was actively having relations with men (including a long term relationship with one of his students) but just got better about hiding it after the arrest. Some biographers like Walter Isaacson will outright say he was gay.

He passed many years with King Francis I of France as his patron. Historians have drawn comparisons between Leonardo and UsefulNotes/GianelloDellaTorre, a fellow inventor of the Renaissance who would work for Francis' rival UsefulNotes/CharlesV of Spain, although Gianello was actually much younger than Leonardo and they didn't coexist for enough time to be rivals as well.

Also note, again, that "da Vinci" indicates where he was ''from''. Surnames in their modern form did not exist in Italy at the time and people called him Leonardo, not "da Vinci". Da Vinci simply means "of Vinci", so it would be somewhat like saying "What would [[UsefulNotes/{{Jesus}} Of Nazareth]] do?" This is still the case among historians and people who know what they're talking about - any proper book will call him Leonardo not just out of familiarity, but because it was his only name. (So yes, the book should be called ''[[Literature/TheDaVinciCode The Leonardo Code]]'', but we didn't name a trope after Dan Brown for nothing.)
