Answer 2

There is a sort of legendary mystification of Leonardo as there is for several otehr Renaissance Artists. Giorgio Vasari helped Hugely in this by compeltely over the top glorifying him in "The Lives of the Artists". And then there's the sort of reveration of his works because they are so rare (Leonardo was not a prolific artist by any means and he often left commissions half finished at best) despite teh fact that he was so incredibly skilled (though Michelangelo was no less skilled.) Then there's the fact that of course he did seem to have an amazing mind, though he was not as artistically penchant as one might think. His biggest glories are his anatomical studies and so on.
The odd little mysterious quirks that one finds about him too. Like the fact that he would leave himself notes written backwards so as to only to be readable with a mirror. His uncertain family origins, his name reffering only to the town of Vinci from which he originated rather than to a family (unlike say, Michelangelo's full name, Michelangelo Buonarotti which celarly associates him to a family). His left handedness as well seems to puzzle people, and because it makes his strokes in paintings so recognizable (as all right handed strokes are sort of the same where left handed ones are distinguishable) thuis making it possible to pick out his hand in his master's work, see Verocchio's the baptism of christ.
