Leonardo da Vinci, born in 1452 in the small town of Vinci, Italy, showed exceptional artistic talent from a young age, sketching detailed drawings that amazed his family. At 15, he became an apprentice to Andrea del Verrocchio, a leading artist in Florence, where he refined his skills in painting, sculpture, and engineering. Leonardo’s insatiable curiosity led him to explore diverse fields like anatomy, optics, and mechanics, filling notebooks with intricate sketches and innovative ideas. In 1482, he moved to Milan to serve Ludovico Sforza, the Duke of Milan, where he created iconic works like The Last Supper, a mural depicting Jesus and his disciples. His scientific observations, including studies of human anatomy and flight, were centuries ahead of his time. Despite his genius, many of Leonardo’s projects remained unfinished, reflecting his restless and inquisitive mind. His legacy endures as a symbol of Renaissance creativity and innovation.
