    Leonardo da Vinci

    Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci was born on April 15, 1452, in Vinci, Italy. Born out of wedlock, the love child of a
    respected notary and a young peasant woman, he was raised by his father, Ser Piero, and his stepmothers. At the
    age of 14, da Vinci began apprenticing with the artist Verrocchio. For six years, he learned a wide breadth of
    technical skills, including metalworking, leather arts, carpentry, drawing and sculpting. By the age of 20, he had
    qualified as a master artist in the Guild of Saint Luke and established his own workshop.
    Da Vinci has been called a genius and the archetypal Renaissance man. His talents inarguably extended far beyond
    his artistic works. Like many leaders of Renaissance humanism, he did not see a divide between science and art. His
    observations and inventions were recorded in 13,000 pages of notes and drawings, including designs for flying
    machines (some 400 years before the Wright brothers' first success), plant studies, war machinery, anatomy and
    architecture. His ideas were mainly theoretical explanations, laid out in exacting detail, but they were rarely
    experimental. His drawings of a fetus in utero, the heart and vascular system, sex organs, and other bone and
    muscular structures, are some of the first on human record.
    One of da Vinci's last commissioned works was a mechanical lion that could walk and open its chest to reveal a
    bouquet of lilies. The famous artist died in Amboise, France, on May 2, 1519. Da Vinci's assistant and perhaps his
    lover, Francesco Melzi, became the principal heir and executor of his estate.
    Leonardo Da Vinci Paintings and Drawings are most famous in all time who was an Italian painter, sculptor, scientist,
    mathematician and engineer. Leonardo has often been described as the archetype of the "Renaissance man", a man
    whose seemingly infinite curiosity was equalled only by his powers of invention. He is widely considered to be one of
    the greatest painters of all time and perhaps the most diversely talented person ever to have lived. It is primarily as a
    painter that Leonardo was and is renowned. Two of his works, the Mona Lisa and The Last Supper occupy unique
    positions as the most famous, most reproduced and most parodied portrait and religious painting of all time.
    Leonardo's drawing of the Vitruvian Man is also iconic. Perhaps fifteen of his paintings survive, the small number due
    to his constant, and frequently disastrous, experimentation with new techniques, and his chronic procrastination.
    Some of his works:
    The Last Supper (1498)
    Cecilia Gallerani (1483-90)
    Mona Lisa (c. 1503-06 and later)
    The Virgin and Child with St Anne (c. 1510)
    St John the Baptist (1513-16)
    Leda (1530)
