Worth mentioning that da Vinci was a vegetarian animal lover who became obsessed with the destruction of the earth toward the end of his life, repeatedly producing "deluge" drawings of flood waters overtaking the world. He also spent ten months with the Florentine army as preparation for painting the Battle of Anghiari which is pretty clearly an anti-war painting designed to dismay the viewer ("Show someone using his hand as a shield for his terrified eyes... Make the dead, some half buried in the dust, others with the dust all mingled with the oozing blood and changing into crimson mud.") There's also a theory that he intentionally saboutaged the designs for some of his military machines, although I personally am not convinced by the evidence.
