“BIOGRAPHY OF LEONARDO DA VINCI”
Early Life
Leonardo was born in the little village of Vinci. His father, Piero da Vinci, may have served as the village notary and lawyer. His mother waspeasant girl named Caterina. Piero's parents took Leonardo into their home and raised him. The boy showed one side of his genius by working out difficult problems in mathematics and engineering. Buthe showed greatest promise in drawing and painting. As a result, his father took him to Florence to study with Andrea del Verrocchio. Da Vinci studied painting, sculpture, and engineering underVerrocchio. He painted the figure of an angel in Verrocchio's Baptism of Christ while he was still a student.
Work in Milan
In the early 1480's, Leonardo entered the service of Ludovico Sforza, who laterbecame Duke of Milan. Leonardo may have gone to Milan to design and cast an immense bronze statue in memory of Francesco Sforza. Leonardo never finished this work, but he did complete a painting, TheMadonna of the Rocks, in his early years in Milan. This painting, was the first to show completely the style for which Leonardo is best known. He arranged his figures formally, making a triangularcomposition, and filled the foreground with detailed studies of plants. During this period, Leonardo also painted a mural, The Last Supper in the dining hall of the monastery of Santa Maria delle Grazie.Many persons consider this mural one of the greatest paintings in the world, even though its colors have faded badly.
