Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci was born April 15, 1452. As a child, Leonardo would sit around and draw his surroundings. His father sent him to art school to study and be the apprentice of the artist Andrea del Verrocchio. One time Verrocchio was painting a picture of Jesus and a angel. He did Jesus and Leonardo did the angel. When the painting was finished the angel was more beautiful than Jesus. After that Verrocchio did not touch a paintbrush for the rest of his life. Then Leonardo paired his first painting called The Virgin of The Rocks. It was completed in 1480. Leonardo was not only a painter. He was also a scientist, inventor, and sculptor. Leonardo would buy birds and then set them free. He was the inventor of the glider but it did not have a motor. He had sketches for submarines, airplane, screwdriver and the helicopter! He died on May 2, 1519. His best works are The Last Supper and Mona Lisa.
