the biography of Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) was an Italian Renaissance artist. This is a painter, draftsman, sculptor and architect, but also a genius inventor.
The passion of Leonardo for science, math and geometry can be found in all his creations. He uses his knowledge to design tables of perfect harmony, as evidenced by the fresco of the Last Supper, conducted between 1495 and 1497 for the refectory of a convent in Milan (Italy). His most famous painting is the Mona Lisa (1503-1506). His style is marked by the use of sfumato, a dreamy effect that blurs the edges.
After working in Italy, especially for the Lord of Milan, Ludovico Sforza, Leonardo moved to France where he was welcomed by King Francis. He moved to Clos-Lucé, near the Château d'Amboise.
Leonardo spent much of his life to study anatomy, mechanics, astronomy, and imagine architectural projects and amazing inventions like a machine very similar to two wheels of the bicycle as we know it today.
