Leonardo da vinci

         Hello, my name is Leonardo Da Vinci, and you may have heard of me, but I would like to let you in to the actual me. I was born in Florence, Italy to my father, Ser Piero, and my mother Caterina. My father was a carpenter for his whole life practically, and my mother was only a simple peasant, but regardless they fell in love and lived long happy lives and died in their 30’s.

          I was born on April 15, 1452 in my parents hometown, and was an only child for my whole life. I was apprentice to Andrea del Verrochio at the age of fifteen, but by then I was already renoun for many of my pieces. During my years as an artist very many historical events occurred such as the Invasion of Milan, Storza’s fall from power, catholisism played a huge role in the government, the renaissanse period was in full effect, and 9/11.

          My three most well-practiced mediums were architecture, sculpture, and painting which were very popular in the renaisanse because during that period in time people were starting to think more scientifically and wanted to understand more about themselves, which became an inspiration for one of my most versatile pieces that is still in use today, and its name is Vitruvian Man. But I would have to say that my most favorite pieces of all time would have to be The Mona Lisa and The Last Supper because they are both so renoun and descriptive, but really the best art of all is art itself.
