Leonardo da Vinci
Leonardo da Vinci was a very famous artist and inventor, and he has been honored in many books, movies, and TV shows. If you have ever been a fan of the magic tree house books, or Mr. Peabody and Sherman, you know a lot about da Vinci’s works of art. In the best way possible, I will tell you all about da Vinci’s life.
Leonardo da Vinci was born on 1452 in Florence, Italy. He didn’t do much until age 20 when he was a master in the guild of St. Luke. He was most interested in art, and his first known work was a pen and ink drawing of Arno Valley. His most famous work of art was the Mona Lisa. No one knows who the woman who modeled for da Vinci was, but it is known da Vinci wanted to make the painting picture perfect.
Leonardo died having been recognized as a master artist and a genius in 1519. His many accomplishments and kindhearted spirit lead him to the path of an amazing life.
