Leonardo da Vinci was born on April 15, 1452 in the village of Ankiato near the city of Vinci (from which the prefix to his name originated). The boy’s father and mother were not married, so Leonardo spent his early years with his mother. Soon the father, who served as a notary, took him into his family.

Attempts to impress the father, to achieve gratitude – were reflected in the nature of the master.

In 1466, da Vinci entered as an apprentice in the studio of the artist Verrocchio in Florence. At this time, Leonardo became interested in drawing, sculpture and modeling, studied metallurgy, chemistry, drawing, mastered the work with gypsum, leather, metal. In 1473, da Vinci was qualified as a master in the Guild of St. Luke.

Leonardo is a very popular figure in the postmodern culture.
