A true Renaissance person was a master in many fields. Can you think of any person, living today, that would be considered a true Renaissance person? How would you compare your Renaissance person today to a Renaissance person, of your choice, during the Renaissance?

In the times of Renaissance, the amount of knowledge was incomparably smaller than in our times. Nobody can master all the contemporary knowledge today; nobody can a be a great mathematician, physicist, doctor, astronomer and an artist at the same time. Human knowledge is so vast that you can only specialize in one area, and even so, it is difficult.
