Leon Battista Alberti was an Italian polymath of the Renaissance who made significant contributions to various fields including architecture, literature, and art theory. Born in Genoa, he was raised in a wealthy family, which provided him with a broad education. Alberti's works, such as "Della Pittura" and "Della Statua," laid the foundations for modern theories of perspective and art, emphasizing the importance of proportion and symmetry.
