meaning "Leonardo, son of (Mes)ser Piero from Vinci."
Leonardo was born on April 15,
1452, at the third hour of the night
in the Tuscan hill town of Vinci, in
Florence.
He was an Italian Renaissance
polymath: painter, sculptor,
architect, musician, mathematician,
engineer, inventor, anatomist,
geologist, cartographer, botanist, and
writer.
2. All Da Vinci's works are distributed to : Early works, Paintings

6. The Last Supper
The Last Supper was made using experimental
pigments directly on the dry plaster wall and
unlike frescos, where the pigments are mixed
with the wet plaster, it has not stood the test
of time well. Over the years it has crumbled,
been vandalized bombed and restored. Today
we are probably looking at very little of the
original.
8. Leonardo died at Clos Lucé, on May 2, 1519. Leonardo
da Vinci was buried in the Chapel of Saint-Hubert in
Château d'Amboise, in France.
Now we can see his paintings in the Louvre, the
Hermitage and the Ambrosiana Library.
