2. Childhood
He was born on Saturday, April 15, 1452.
Leonardo was the illegitimate son: his father knocked up a
young humble peasant family named Caterina.
His father, Messer Piero di Antonio Fruosino was notary,
chancellor and ambassador of the Republic of Florence.
Her mother says she could be a slave in the Middle East.
Leonardo was baptized and spent his first five years in the house
of his father in Vinci, where it was treated as a legitimate child.
3. Highlighted why da vinci?
Leonardo da Vinci was often
described as an archetype and
a symbol of the Renaissance
man, universal genius, plus
humanist philosopher whose
infinite curiosity can only be
matched by his inventiveness
Leonardo da Vinci is considered one of the greatest
painters of all time and probably is the person with the
most talent in multiple disciplines who ever lived
4. A very important picture of
Leonardo.
Leonardo painted The Virgin of the Rocks (1483-1486) for the
Confraternity of the Immaculate Conception, which would go to
the chapel San Francesco Grande in Milan.
This scenario was the source of a conflict between the author
and the owners that lasted several years.
Leonardo obtained the right to copy the work, but later began a
legal problem with this.
The problem was not resolved until there were judicial decisions
and the intervention of some friends, ending with two versions
of the work.
