Da Vinci’s combination of perfectionism and hunger for knowledge would often lead him to enter graveyards at night, and steal corpses to get the most accurate model with which he could study, the human body.
Da Vinci’s perfectionism was so serious that it was rare for him to complete a piece of work, often destroying them before they were finished, rather than produce something that wasn’t impeccable.

Was Leonardo da Vinci a perfectionist?
