Leonardo da Vinci: The Renaissance Man
Painter, sculptor, architect, musician, scientist, mathematician, engineer, inventor,
anatomist, geologist, cartographer, botanist, and writer, Leonardo da Vinci was a
genius who was well ahead of his time and the best example of the Renaissance
man. This is the story of one of the greatest painters of all time, and perhaps the
most diversely talented person ever to have lived.
Leonardo grew up in the hamlet of Anchianoin Tuscany where he received an
informal education. Young Leonardo had an unquenchable curiosity in life and
moved to Florence where he took an interest in painting. At the age of fourteen,
Leonardo began an apprenticeship with Andrea del Verrocchio. Here, his talent
blossomed and as fate would have it, he was soon employed by the rich and
powerful Duke of Milan. Soon, Leonardo moved to the city of Rome, where some
of the greatest artists of the time lived. This tale traces the fascinating life of one
of the best and most famous artists that the world has ever seen.
