Learn English – Someone who is adept/multi-talented in related activities

single-word-requestssynonymsword-usage

Is there a word for someone who is skilled at several talents in the arts, e.g. painting, sculpting, playing musical instruments and reading poetry. I am looking for a word that is analogous to polyglot when referring to someone who is fluent in several languages (spoken or e.g. using several programming languages). The word, if such exists, should be primarily associated with artistic activities, rather than a generalist term like multi-talented.

Thanks to @Zbyněk Dráb below, perhaps you could rephrase my question as:

polyglot is to linguists as polymath is to scientists as what(?) is to artists?

One traditional term was renaissance man, after the example of Leonardo DaVinci, an expert in many areas --that may be too gender-specific for modern usage.

A more recent term is multihyphenate, used often in a showbiz context for an "actor-singer-director" or similar.
