Leonardo da Vinci.
Leonardo da Vinci was an artist, sculptor, architect and inventor. He drew early designs
for many of the things we use today. He was bom in 1452 and as a child he lived in Vinci, a
small town near Florence, Italy.
When he was 14 he started working for a local artist. He was clever and creative, so
people soon began to ask him to paint for them. In 1482, he moved from Florence because he
wanted to work for the Duke of Milan. During this time, he continued to paint and he also
designed buildings and weapons.
Leonardo moved back to Florence in 1500 and painted the Mona Lisa, the most famous
painting in the world. At the age of 65, Leonardo went to live in Amboise, France. He died
there three years later, in 1519.
To this day, people go to see Leonardo da Vinci's amazing work in museums and
galleries all around the world.
