Leonardo da Vinci was born in 1452 in Italy and showed an early talent for art as evidenced by an omen at his birth. He apprenticed as an artist in 1466 and became a master painter, creating early works like a painting of the Arno Valley. Some of his most famous paintings included the Mona Lisa and he also conceived plans for inventions like a giant crossbow. He was a prolific artist and inventor who made numerous contributions to art and science as shown through his works and quotes on authority, well-spent lives, and the power of water.

received an omen. A kite fell from the
sky and hovered on top of his head.
In 1466 Leonardo was apprenticed to
be an artist. In 1472 Leonardo
qualified as a master in the “The
Guild of St. Luke”. When his father
set him with his own workshop he
still worked with his old master. One

4. LEONARDO’S QUOTES
Nothing strengthens authority as
much as silence.
As a well spent day brings happy
sleep, so a life spent well brings
happy death
Water is the driving forcing of
all nature
