Well you want to know about Leonardo da vinci. Let’s talk about him. Leonardo da vinci was born April 15, 1452. He then died on May 2, 1519 at the age of 67. Leonardo da vinci was known for his art and science smartness. It was honestly insane how smart he was by the time he was 18. When he was 18 he was doing all kind of sorts of stuff that was almost impossible. When Leonardo da vinci was 5 years old he was taken from his mom. He had very very little education but when he was 14 he was interested in anatomy which is the study of the human body. He was studying bones and all that is in the body and how it functions. When he saw what the human body looked like he then drew very detailed drawing in his notebooks. When he would them though he would draw them backwards. With all of the objects that he had seen with exploring a lot he found objects to make different machines or vehicles. When he would draw in the notebooks he would draw so many things that it kind got overwhelming. When he would draw some of the drawing he got so many ideas he couldn’t remember some of them because there were so many. When he would draw in his notebook he would just draw those things he would also do his sculptings and his weapons of war. He was also the one who painted one of the most famous paintings. The mona lisa. Around 1495, Ludovico Sforza, then the Duke of Milan, commissioned to leonardo da Vinci to paint ‘the last supper’ on the back wall of the dining hall inside the building of

Michelangelo should be on the cover of the Renaissance Man Time Magazine. Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni, was an Italian sculptor, painter, architect, poet, and engineer of the High Renaissance who exerted an unparalleled influence on the development of Western art. Michelangelo was born on March 6, 1475 in the Republic of Florence (present-day Tuscany, Italy). He sadly passed away on February 18, 1564, Rome, Italy. Michelangelo is widely recognized as the most famous artist of the Italian Renaissance. Some of his favorite works of art include: the Statue of David, Pieta, and the Ceiling of the Sistine Chapel.

Leonardo da Vinci was born in Italy and was raised by his father and stepmother. When he was five years old, he moved to his father’s side of the family estate. He received little formal education yet he still learned basic reading, writing, and mathematics. Surprisingly, his artistic capabilities were revealed during his early ages. Around fourteen years old, da Vinci was an apprentice to the artist, Andrea del Verrocchio, that lasted a very long time. He learned various technical skills including metalworking, leather arts, carpentry, drawing, painting, and sculpting. His earliest dated work was made with pen

Leonardo da Vinci is one of the most famous artists to have ever lived, and his contributions to the development of western civilization are irrefutable. Born on April 15, 1452, near Florence, Italy, one would not have guessed that he was destined for a life of greatness. He was the illegitimate child of an up-and-coming notary and a peasant girl, and he spent most of his childhood with his doting father (“Da Vinci - The Renaissance Man.”). At the age of 15, he became an apprentice in the workshop of Andrea del Verrochio, where his undeniable talent soon became apparent. He remained an apprentice until 1477, when he left to explore other opportunities.

The great “Renaissance man” Leonardo Di Ser Piero Da Vinci was born on April 15th, 1452 in Anchiano, Tuscany (now known as Italy). Like many couples back then, Leonardo’s parents were not married to each other. His father being Piero Frucsino Di Antonio Da Vinci (worked as a well-known notary) and his mother (being theorized as a young slave brought from the Middle East) named Caterina. Leonardo’s mother is a large mystery as not many people know what happened to her and where she went, but many people know about Leonardo’s father’s life as his was the one who took care of him. Living on his father’s estate he was raised by his step-mothers, his father, and later his uncle and grandparents. Though he’s seen as an extremely intelligent man today with an I.Q. of about two hundred and twenty, young Leonardo did not get much of an education beyond basic reading, writing, and mathematics. However, Leonardo’s artistic talents were noticed at a young age, and at about 14 years old, Leonardo was the

Leonardo Da Vinci’s unlimited desire for knowledge made him one of the most influential people to the development of the modern world. His prolific genius spanned virtually every field of study. Widely considered to be the best example of a polymath to have ever lived, he made significant contributions to warfare, astronomy, mathematics, engineering, transportation, medicine, botany, painting and sculpting. He made groundbreaking advancements in anatomy, geology, hydrodynamics, aeronautics, and optics. Da Vinci’s unique powers of observation and superior intellect embodied the spirit of scientific exploration and epitomized the Renaissance paradigm. His complexity and diversification cannot be overstated and the degree of which his many

Leonardo da Vinci was an Italian man born on April 15, 1452 in Vinci, Italy. He received very little formal education, but his artistic abilities were evident from a very young age. By the time Leonardo was fourteen, he had began an apprenticeship with Andrea del Verrocchio. This apprenticeship taught him many skills including: metalwork, leather arts, carpentry, drawing, painting, and sculpting. The earliest known work by da Vinci is a pen-and-ink drawing of the landscape in Arno Valley in 1473. By age twenty, Leonardo qualified for a membership as a master artist in Florence 's Guild of Saint Luke, where he established his own workshop. In 1476 Leonardo da Vinci was charged, alongside of four other men, with sodomy. Although the charges were dropped, da Vinci’s

When people think of the Renaissance, one of the first to come to mind is Leonardo da Vinci. Born in 1452, da Vinci was the child of Ser Piero, a legal notary, and Caterina, a peasant. There is little information of da Vinci’s childhood. Until the age of five, he lived with his mother in the village of Anchiano. He would then go to live with his father in the town of Vinci. Leonardo never had any formal education, however, he was taught reading, Latin, and mathematics at home. As a young adult, da Vinci was fascinated by the outside world. He had a particular fascination by water and how it moved, as well as birds of prey, particularly how they flew. At the age of fifteen, da Vinci would begin apprenticing under the artist Verrochio in Florence, Italy. This is where he would start his painting career. In time, Verrochio would ask Leonardo in assisting him in painting The Baptism of Christ. Da Vinci painted the two angels in the corner so well that it proved his skill to be far superior to Verrochio. Da Vinci’s skill was so great that Verrochio vowed never to paint again. Five years later, at the age of twenty, da Vinci was given the rank of master in the Guild of Saint Luke, a group of renowned artists and doctors.

“Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) was a painter, architect, inventor, and student of all things scientific. His natural genius crossed so many disciplines that he epitomized the term ‘Renaissance man.’” He was born in Anchiano, Tuscany (now Italy), close to the town of Vinci that provided the surname that is associated with him today. Da Vinci received no formal education beyond basic reading, writing, and math during his younger years. As his career started to bloom, he became more interested in obtaining new knowledge. Carmen Bambach states, “He was constantly observing, experimenting, and inventing, and drawing was, for him, a tool for recording his investigation of nature.” Leonardo was constantly intrigued in learning new topics that are foreign to him. “Da Vinci’s interests ranged far beyond fine art. He studied nature, mechanics, anatomy, physics, architecture, weaponry and more, often creating accurate, workable designs for machines like the bicycle, helicopter, submarine and military tank that would not come to fruition for centuries.” “Leonardo (1452-1519) was the ultimate ‘Renaissance man’ for the breadth of his intellect, interest and talent and his expression of humanist and classical values.” Da Vinci died at Cloux in 1519 at the age of 67. He was buried nearby in the palace church of Saint-Florentin.

Leonardo Da Vinci “The Last Supper” created in the year of 1495 was a painting from the Renaissance era. This art depicted Jesus and his disciples at the last meal, before the betrayal of Judas and hanging of Jesus on the cross. The objective of this paper is to analyze and critique through artist influence and formal expression. Leonardo Da Vinci the four fathers of art, philosophy and tenacity. Leonardo was the eldest of seventeen siblings a natural artist, who discovered at “fourteen that he wanted to become the apprentice of Andreu de Verrocchio” (bio.com). Moreover, through this opportunity. “He learned a wide range of technical skills, including medal work, leather arts, and carpentry” (bio.com).However, by the time Leonardo became an adult he was an accomplished artist. Leonardo Da Vinci was the creator of thought provoking ideas. He delved into projects which were a figment of imagination in written word. However, he exposed written knowledge into images, for example: drawings of organs in the physical anatomy. These designs changed how people learned and perceived information. In the 15th century, many did not know how to read, so the visual was the next best understanding of observation. The best word to describe Leonardo would be the jack of all trades. However, he was trained and stringent which each endeavor he pursued. Leonardo continued to work on his craft which evolved with time. Which impacted other artist to perfect their techniques. Leonardo was not a

In Florence, Italy, a young prodigy began his work that would become an icon of Renaissance art and inspire the world through new ideas within and outside of art. Leonardo da Vinci Unlike many artists who left the world with only their masterpieces, Leonardo, a ADHD man who could never seem to finish a project, left behind numerous incomplete works of art. That is why an aspect of Leonardo da Vinci’s life that I have found fascinating are his sketchbooks. When viewing these various sketchbooks, one can learn about how he creates his art, his diverse interests, and his ideas.

Leonardo da Vinci was a revolutionary. He not only was given the title of master artist at 20, he also painted “The Last Supper” and “Mona Lisa”, and then he merged science and art beautifully with his sketch of “Vitruvian Man”, and da Vinci made the first anatomical drawings on human record. Leonardo da Vinci was born on April 15, 1452 in Vinci, Italy. Leonardo was given the most basic form of education, but his incredible artistic talents were prominent. At 14, da Vinci started an apprenticeship with Andrea del Verrocchio in Florence. At 20, he was given the title of master artist and opened his own workshop. In 1478, da Vinci received his first solo commission in Florence, but he abandoned it and ran from the city. His love for inventing started to flourish in 1482 when he was

Have you ever wondered about the brilliant mind that created the “Mona Lisa” with her penetrating eyes that follow you around a room? Perhaps you have been curious as to why science has influenced his artwork and his artwork influenced his science? Leonardo da Vinci would be the best person to ask but since he perished 600 years ago we will go over the evidence that has been left for us to observe. Born an Aries on April 15th, 1452 da Vinci was an idol solely due to his science and outstanding art work. To first understand his art and scientific inventions we must first know the man. We will take a look into his life and see just how he got to where he was. Second, we will focus on the different ways he created his art like the famous “The Last Supper” and why it is so worn today compared to his other art. Third, we will take a look at his remarkably genius scientific inventions like the flying machine and see that he was a man ahead of his time.

Who would have thought that a rural boy would become one of the greatest minds of history? This boy was born during the Italian Renaissance, a time of great rebirth and renewed interest in cultural arts (Leonardo artist page 3). His name was Leonardo da Vinci, and he was born in April 15, 1452 (Leonardo artist page 9). Many would call Leonardo “a jack of all trades; master of none,” yet possibly he was a master of all (Leonardo artist page 4). He had achieved many talents and countless accomplishments (page 4). A genius at heart, Leonardo had many jobs and careers: “a painter, a sculptor, an inventor, an engineer, a writer, an architect, and… a scientist.” (Leonardo artist page 5) An excellent observer, he would often study his

Leonardo da Vinci is one of the most remarkable painters, sculptors, architects and brilliant philosophers of all time. He was born on April 15, 1452 near Vinci but the biggest part of his life he spent in Florence where he began drawing and after a certain period-painting. When Leonardo was fourteen he began working with Andrea del Verrocchio, who was one of the most recognized painters of his day. Da Vinci’s work soon
