Leonardo da Vinci was an Italian polymath born in 1452 in Vinci, Italy. He worked across multiple fields including painting, sculpting, science, and engineering. Some of his most famous works include the Mona Lisa, The Last Supper, and Virgin of the Rocks. The Last Supper, located in Milan, Italy, has deteriorated significantly over time due to experimental painting techniques used by da Vinci. Leonardo da Vinci died in 1519 in France and was buried there.

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.

7. The Last Supper is located in Santa Maria Delle Grazie.

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.
