Leonardo Da Vinci
This is the picture we think of when you say Leonardo Da Vinci.
It was drawn in red chalk by Francesco Melzi. He was the live in
student and friend of Leonardo.

A discription was given by Anonimo Gaddiano of Leonardo Da Vinci, he said
he was very attractive, well proportioned, graceful and good looking. He wore
a short, rose pink tunic knee-length, beautiful curling hair, carefullly styled
which came down to the middle of his chest. He did not say anything about a beard.

Leonardo di ser piero Da Vinci was his full name. In those days they did not have surnames so Da Vinci means (from Vinci). Leonardo was many things,
engineer, inventor, architect, scientist, musician, sculptor, draftsman, genuis,
painter, and artist. Renaissance man is how we think of Leonardo Da Vinci today.
Leonardo Da Vinci is best known for the Mona Lisa, the last supper, the virgin
of the rocks, his paintings and inventions are hanging in museums all over the world. Leonardo keep his ideas in note books (codex) and wrote backward to
keep his discoveries a secret. In these notebooks Leonardo also keep most of
his drawings for new paintings.
The Mona Lisa is the best known woman in the world. An interesting fact about the Mona Lisa is that after Leonardos death it hung in the bathroom of the King.
Another fact of intrest is that the last supper was an experiment gone wrong,
trying to use oils and not reading the instructions. This is why the last supper
looks as it does today.
