LEONARDO DA VINCI
IN AC II
Date of Birth : 1452
Profession : Painter, Inventor,Designer,Architect,Scientist,Engineer
The
illegimate son of a notary and peasant woman, Leonardo da Vinci was
raised in Tuscany. Like many destined to be superstars, he had no
surname. Vinci being the town in which he was born.
At
age 14, he was apprenticed to a florentine painter, verrochio, who
taught him chemistry drafting,painting.sculpting,and modelling. When he
was 20, Leonardo estabilished his own workshop, and then travelled
across Itally, eventually painting his great masterpieces "The las
Supper" in 1498 and "The Mona Lisa" in 1503-1507.
During
his travels, Leonardo studied the world with curiosity, recording his
observation in mirror writing within his notebook. While under the
employ of Ludovico Sforza and than Cesare Borgia, he created designs for
a helicopter,tank,naval bomber, and machine gun. He was also an
engineer designing garrisons and movable barricades.
Despite
this epic list of accomplishments, Leonardo was hounded by his patrons
for his chronic procratination. Pieces frequently took years longer than
he anticipated and many were never finished at all.
Leonardo
also had a tumultous love live. Accused of sodomy in 1476, he was most
likely homosexual. Salai, his assistant, was accused of steal and
spending to much money on clothes, but was also probably Leonardo's
lover. Leonardo painted several pictures of Salai, icluding his famous
"St.John the Baptist", and left "The MonaLisa" to him when he died in
1519
