I chose to research Leonardo da Vinci and his contribution to the arts. Leonardo was born an illegitimate son in what is now Italy in 1452. He had a good childhood despite his parentage because his father took him in and brought him up in his household.

Then it was passed on to Louis XV he took the Mona Lisa to the Palace of Versailles and then following the portrait was hung in Napoleon’s bedroom in the Tuileries Palace. Later on in the year 1793 the Mona Lisa found a long-lasting home in Paris at the Louvre museum when it open for the first time. Overall, the Mona Lisa is one of Da Vinci’s numerous works of art.
