Read the text Leonardo da Vinci was the very epitome of the Renaissance man. He was a painter, an architect, a scientist... Also he was a profound engineer and inventor. Leonardo invented a self-propelled cart, a robot, a various hydraulic machines, and even designed a flying machine.

Leonardo was born in Anchiano, Tuscany. He was raised by his father's family. The boy received only basic education, but he was largely self-educated. His father noticed his interest for arts and panting, so he sent him to be an apprentice to a famous sculptor.

He spent about 10 years perfecting his skills in painting and sculpture. Later he moved to Florence to work for the Sforza family, the clan that ruled Florence at the time. Few of his masterpieces survived, and The Last Supper and Mona Lisa are among them.

The Last Supper is the only fresco of Leonardo that we know. It is huge — 8.8 metres wide and 7 metres tall. It depicts Jesus Christ during His last dinner with the apostles. Mona Lisa is another work of art that has amazed people for more than 500 years. It’s still unclear who exactly Leonardo painted in the picture and slight enigmatic smile of the woman still dazzles numerous viewers. Now the picture is housed in the Louvre, in France.

Leonardo is famous by his experimenting. For example, he developed the unique technique called sfumato. It’s shading between colours and shapes. Da Vinci used it during his work on Mona Lisa. There was no fingerprint or stroke of brush found on some parts of the painting.
