Short Essay About Leonardo Da Vinci

I have chosen to write about one of the most significant figures in art, Leonardo Da Vinci. Leonardo Da Vinci was born on 15 april in 1452 in Vinci, Tuscany, Italy. Leonardo's full name was Leonardo di Ser Piero da Vinci, which means "Leonardo, Piero's son, from Vinci", the name he wore because he was born a bastard. Leonardo showed as a young man, talent for many aesthetic areas, for example. Sing, read poetry and play the lute. But he showed an even greater talent for painting and was hence in 1470 apprenticed to the leading Florentine painter, Andrea del Verocchio. Doctrine lasted two years and after that he chose to work as an apprentice to Andrea in a decade. After his time as apprentice to Andrea, he was given the chance to move to Milan to work for the Duke of Milan, Ludovico Sforza. Since he was gifted in so many areas, he then many jobs, he worked as a court painter, sculptor, architect and engineer of Ludovico's army. During his time with Ludovico so he painted the famous painting, The Last Supper in 1498, the picture depicts Christ and his disciples at a dining table. After 17 years in the service of the Duke of Milan, he was forced to flee, when the French army occupied Milan and Sforza family's rule was overthrown. Leonardo then went to Mantua, and in turn to the water-located city of Venice, where his knowledge of the army engineering was taken advantage of and worked as an army engineer for a year until he went to Florence. Two years after his arrival in Florence united himself with Cesare Borgia, and went on his campaign, but then returned to Florence after Borgia's defeat. He then stayed in Florence in 1508, where he painted his, probably the most famous painting, the Mona Lisa. Leonardo was revoked then back to Milan the city now French governor, Charles d'Amboise. Leonardo worked in Milan with scientific studies and plans for the construction of a canal. In 1513 Leonardo went, accompanied by his pupil Francesco Melzi, the Vatican in order to win the Pope, Leo the tiondes, respect and kindness. After the failure of the Pope as Leonardo decided in 1517 to go south and work for the French King Francis the first. In his travel packing to France, he took his masterpiece the Mona Lisa, Saint John the Baptist and Anna himself third. Leonardo's time in France is very different from his time in Italy and especially Rome, where it was spread false claim of Leonardo which reduced people's opinion about Leonardo. Unlike in Rome, it was Leonardo a very respected and acclaimed in France. It is believed that it was for this reason above all, that helped that he chose to die, 2 May in 1518 at the Royal Palace Clos Lucé, located in Amboise, in the Indre-et-Loire in France. Even today, no one has surpassed what Leonardo Da Vinci have achieved. Leonardo's work was very unique in his time, he believed that man had a greater ability to develop than what others thought of his contemporaries. He was very innovative in the way, and many believe today that he lived in the wrong century, when several of his innovations became a reality over the past centuries, such as brakes, gears, screws and ball bearings.
