da Vinci was a famous artist around the time of the Tudors. What can you find
out about him and his most famous pieces of work. Share your most interesting
facts in the comments box.
Leonardo da Vinci was born on 15 April 1452 near the Tuscan town of Vinci, the illegitimate son of a local lawyer. He was apprenticed to the sculptor and painter Andrea del Verrocchio in Florence and in 1478 became an independent master. In about 1483, he moved to Milan to work for the ruling Sforza family as an engineer, sculptor, painter and architect. From 1495 to 1497 he produced a mural of 'The Last Supper' in the refectory of the Monastery of Santa Maria delle Grazie, Milan.Da Vinci was in Milan until the city was invaded by the French in 1499 and the Sforza family forced to flee. He may have visited Venice before returning to Florence. During his time in Florence, he painted several portraits, but the only one that survives is the famous 'Mona Lisa' (1503-1506).
In 1506, da Vinci returned to Milan, remaining there until 1513. This was followed by three years based in Rome. In 1517, at the invitation of the French king Francis I, Leonardo moved to the Château of Cloux, near Amboise in France, where he died on 2 May 1519.
The fame of Da Vinci's surviving paintings has meant that he has been regarded primarily as an artist, but the thousands of surviving pages of his notebooks reveal the most eclectic and brilliant of minds. He wrote and drew on subjects including geology, anatomy (which he studied in order to paint the human form more accurately), flight, gravity and optics, often flitting from subject to subject on a single page, and writing in left-handed mirror script. He 'invented' the bicycle, airplane, helicopter, and parachute some 500 years ahead of their time.
If all this work had been published in an intelligible form, da Vinci's place as a pioneering scientist would have been beyond dispute. Yet his true genius was not as a scientist or an artist, but as a combination of the two: an 'artist-engineer'. His painting was scientific, based on a deep understanding of the workings of the human body and the physics of light and shade. His science was expressed through art, and his drawings and diagrams show what he meant, and how he understood the world to work.
Leonardo da Vincis painting was mona lisa,The Last Supper, Vitruvian Man,Lady with an Ermine and Self-portrait in red chalk and they were realy famous paintings.

Leonardo Da Vinci was born in Italy. He was born on the 15 of April 1452. He was really interested at other subjects as well as being an artist. He was interested in Science, he invented things, he wanted to learn about other peoples bodies and was also interested in being a Doctor and he was interested in other stuff.

Leonardo da Vinci was born on April 15, 1452 and died on May 2, 1519. Leonardo Da Vinci is perhaps best known as a painter, with his legendary works including the Mona Lisa, the Vitruvian Man and the Last Supper, among others. Leonardo da Vinci wasn't just an incredible artist; he was an inventor, scientist, mathematician, engineer, writer, and musician. His delicate drawings included plans for musical instruments, war machines, calculators, boats and other ideas. Many of these plans were incomplete by the level of technology at the time. Many of Leonardo da Vinci’s machines have since been built and tested, to varying levels of achievement. He became an expert in the anatomy of the human body, studying it in detail and creating hundreds of drawings to help explain his thoughts. The Vitruvius Man is a drawing by Leonardo Da Vinci that describes the relationship between human size and shape. Da Vinci wrote in the opposite direction to what is normal, which means you’d need a mirror to read it properly. The Mona Lisa is perhaps the most well known painting in the world. It is a half-length portrait of a woman who, along with the work of art, backdrop and other details, has been the subject of much discussion. It is believed that Leonardo Da Vinci began painting the Mona Lisa around 1503. It has been on permanent display at the Louvre Museum in Paris for over 200 years.
Leonardo da Vinci was born in Italy on April 1st 1452 and died 2nd of May 1519. Leonardo da Vinci was most known for his painting. He was very good at maths, music and engineering. Leonardo da Vinci recorded his child hood memories in a diary. When Leonardo da Vinci was a child he really wanted to be an artist. His best work was called Eines Mukers . When he was studying science, he recognised that he was good at engineering. Leonardo went on a journey to Paris. Leonardo worked for someone called Mona Lisa. His uncle was called Fransisco, his Dad’s name was called Cartina and his mother was called Piro. He lived in Milan until the city got invaded.
Leonardo Da Vinci was one of the great creative mind of the great creative minds of the Italian Renaissance, hugely influential as an engineer,scientist,artist and inventor. Leonardo Da Vinci was born on 15th April 1452 near the Tuscan city of Vinci, the illegitimate son of a local lawyer. His mother is Catherina Da Vinci. His father is Piero Fruosion Di Antonio Da Vinci.
Leonardo da Vinci, a man with many talents, was most well known as an artist, an architect, inventor and chronicler of science. He was born in the 15th century A.D. in Vinci, Italy. His father was a prominent lawyer and his mother was a young peasant girl. Born out of wedlock, he was brought up by his father, Ser Piero, and several stepmothers. He spent his early years on his father’s family estate in Vinci. While he was young, he was also influenced by his uncle, who loved nature and had a hand in bringing up and caring for him. Beyond basic reading, writing and mathematical skills, he did not receive much formal education. He was homeschooled. Recognizing his capability as an artist, his father sent him at the age of 14 or 15 to apprentice with sculptor and painter Andrea Del Verrocchio of Florence.
He spent 6 years mastering his technical skills in metalworking, leather arts, carpentry, drawing and sculpting and became member of the Guild of Saint Luke by the age of 20. He went missing for a few years after being charged with crime, but was declared innocent in Florence when he was 22. He remained with Verrocchio, until he became an independent master in 1478. This is when he first commissioned his work, The Adoration of the Magi, for Florence’s San Donato, at Scopeto monastery. However, he never finished this work as he was soon enticed to Milan to be an engineer, painter, architect and sculptor for the ruling Sforza dynasty. He worked on a bronze equestrian statue to honor dynasty founder Francesco Sforza off and on for 12 years, but war ultimately interfered and that project never came to completion. While war stopped the Sforza project, Da Vinci also could not complete many of his paintings and other works. His varied interests were in scientific law and nature that often sidetracked him. In the early 1490s, he began chronicling his ideas about painting, architecture, mechanics and human anatomy. Leonardo da Vinci’s notebooks contained plans for a “flying machine,” bicycle and drawings of a human fetus and the human skeleton.
His interests and understanding spread across so many disciplines that he had signified the term “Renaissance Man.” Unfortunately, these notebooks weren’t published, because his ideas were not understood in the Renaissance period. The term "Renaissance man" comes from 15th century in Italy and means a person having knowledge and talents in a number of different areas. Leonardo da Vinci was extraordinary – an artist, scientist, architect, engineer and inventor. He could write and draw with his left hand, and most of his writing was in mirror script, encrypted which makes it difficult to read or decrypt. He could draw forward with one hand, while writing backward with the other, producing a mirror-image script that others found difficult to read. Leonardo Da Vinci was special because he could write with both hands with equal skill. He was believed to be a dyslexic, suffering from a learning disorder and difficulty in recognizing and understanding written language.
In 1516, Leonardo Da Vinci was offered the chance to paint and draw at his own pace, by French ruler Francis I in a country house in France. He spent just three years in France and died there on May 2nd, 1519. On his death, his writings were left with Melzi, his pupil assistant with the intention that his scientific work should be published. This did not take place in Melzi's lifetime, and the writings were later bound in different forms and distributed. Some of his works were published as a Treatise on Painting 165 years after his death.
The "Mona Lisa" is da Vinci’s best-known work and his greatest artistic achievement. It had been hypothesized, that Mona Lisa was a man dressed up in women’s clothing or an imaginary model. People thought that the painting was Lisa Del Gioconda, the wife of Francesco Del Giocondo, a wealthy silk merchant. It is thought that it was completed sometime between 1505 and 1507, but there are indications that da Vinci continued to work on it as he tried to achieve perfection. Today, the painting hangs behind bullet-proof glass in the Louvre Museum in Paris.
Leonardo Da Vinci painted a painting called "Last Supper," from 1492 to 1498, on the dining room wall of the of the Santa Maria Delle Grazie monastery in Milan. It shows Jesus telling the apostles that one of him will betray him. It was painted on the wall in layers, using tempera on a stone, but this masterpiece began to deteriorate and has undergone extensive restoration.
The work that is identified as "portrait of a man in red chalk" was believed to be Leonardo Da Vinci from about 1510. People believe that this drawing was that of his father or uncle or another older man, but now has been widely accepted as Da Vinci and has come to represent his image as Renaissance Man. The Vitruvian Man was his most famous scientific drawing, a study of proportions of the human body, art and science.
Leonardo Da Vinci’s had large roles in, inventions, science, technology, unique artistry and sketching. He dreamt about creations and improvement across a diversity of fields. He was inventive, clever, bold, original and creative. Science was one of his most intensely loved subjects. His books gave explanations about his investigative methods. He tried to reason and argue that the Earth was much older than the Bible suggests, and he argued that falling sea levels not Noah's Flood left marine fossils on mountains. With his innovative, engineering mind, Leonardo Da Vinci actually imagined many modern machines, 100 years earlier.
Famous Inventions of Leonardo da Vinci: Anemometer (instrument for measuring the speed of wind), Flying machine, helicopter (Aerial screw), Parachute, 33-Barreled Organ (multi-barrelled guns that could be loaded and fired simultaneously as compared to cannons), Armoured Car (precursor to the modern tank), Giant Crossbow, Triple Barrel Canon (mobile cannon for the battlefield), Clock (designed a more accurate clock), Ideal City(talents as an artist, architect, engineer and inventor), Robotic Knight (pulleys, weights and gears for a fully animated robot), Self-Propelled Cart (cart need not be pushed), Scuba gear ( plans for floating snowshoes, a breathing device for underwater exploration, a life preserver, and a diving bell that could attack ships from below).
Leonardo da Vinci was born on the 15th April 1452, to his parents Piero da Vinci and Caterina, in the Vinci region in Florence. Leonardo was educated in the studio of a Florentine painter, Verrocchio and much of his earlier life he worked for Ludovico IL Mora in Milan. He also worked in Rome, Bologna and Venice. He spent his last years in a home in France. He painted the Mona Lisa, The Last Supper and The Virgin of the Rocks. In order to make Mona Lisa smile, he invited clowns to entertain her while he painted her portrait! One of Leonardo’s drawings shows the muscles of the arms and shoulders. This drawing could have only been drawn by observing a carefully dissected body. Leonardo’s note book was full of diagram, including several for flying machines. Today, people still use his ideas and modern propeller are little bit similar to his design of a flying machine. He also drew a remarkable plan of town of Imola in 1502. Some scholars believe it is the first geometric town plan ever produced. Leonardo painted Francis I of France who greatly admired Leonardo’s work and gave him shelter for his last years of life. He was a painter, anatomist, inventor and cartographer. He was exceptional man with talent beyond measure.
Leonardo Da Vinci has painted the momalisa that's all I know
ReplyDeleteHe did paint the Mona Lisa, Jastej! Perhaps you could research that painting in particular. Who was she? How did he paint it? Why is it so popular?

He went missing for a few years after being charged with crime, but was declared innocent in Florence when he was 22. He remained with Verrocchio, until he became an independent master in 1478. This is when he first commissioned his work, The Adoration of the Magi, for Florence’s San Donato, at Scopeto monastery. However, he never finished this work as he was soon enticed to Milan to be an engineer, painter, architect and sculptor for the ruling Sforza dynasty. He worked on a bronze equestrian statue to honor dynasty founder Francesco Sforza off and on for 12 years, but war ultimately interfered and that project never came to completion. While war stopped the Sforza project, Da Vinci also could not complete many of his paintings and other works. His varied interests were in scientific law and nature that often sidetracked him. In the early 1490s, he began chronicling his ideas about painting, architecture, mechanics and human anatomy. Leonardo da Vinci’s notebooks contained plans for a “flying machine,” bicycle and drawings of a human fetus and the human skeleton.
His interests and understanding spread across so many disciplines that he had signified the term “Renaissance Man.” Unfortunately, these notebooks weren’t published, because his ideas were not understood in the Renaissance period. The term "Renaissance man" comes from 15th century in Italy and means a person having knowledge and talents in a number of different areas. Leonardo da Vinci was extraordinary – an artist, scientist, architect, engineer and inventor. He could write and draw with his left hand, and most of his writing was in mirror script, encrypted which makes it difficult to read or decrypt. He could draw forward with one hand, while writing backward with the other, producing a mirror-image script that others found difficult to read. Leonardo Da Vinci was special because he could write with both hands with equal skill. He was believed to be a dyslexic, suffering from a learning disorder and difficulty in recognizing and understanding written language.
In 1516, Leonardo Da Vinci was offered the chance to paint and draw at his own pace, by French ruler Francis I in a country house in France. He spent just three years in France and died there on May 2nd, 1519. On his death, his writings were left with Melzi, his pupil assistant with the intention that his scientific work should be published. This did not take place in Melzi's lifetime, and the writings were later bound in different forms and distributed. Some of his works were published as a Treatise on Painting 165 years after his death.
Leonardo Da Vinci's famous pieces of work:
ReplyDeleteThe "Mona Lisa" is da Vinci’s best-known work and his greatest artistic achievement. It had been hypothesized, that Mona Lisa was a man dressed up in women’s clothing or an imaginary model. People thought that the painting was Lisa Del Gioconda, the wife of Francesco Del Giocondo, a wealthy silk merchant. It is thought that it was completed sometime between 1505 and 1507, but there are indications that da Vinci continued to work on it as he tried to achieve perfection. Today, the painting hangs behind bullet-proof glass in the Louvre Museum in Paris.
Leonardo Da Vinci painted a painting called "Last Supper," from 1492 to 1498, on the dining room wall of the of the Santa Maria Delle Grazie monastery in Milan. It shows Jesus telling the apostles that one of him will betray him. It was painted on the wall in layers, using tempera on a stone, but this masterpiece began to deteriorate and has undergone extensive restoration.
The work that is identified as "portrait of a man in red chalk" was believed to be Leonardo Da Vinci from about 1510. People believe that this drawing was that of his father or uncle or another older man, but now has been widely accepted as Da Vinci and has come to represent his image as Renaissance Man.
The Vitruvian Man was his most famous scientific drawing, a study of proportions of the human body, art and science.
Leonardo Da Vinci’s had large roles in, inventions, science, technology, unique artistry and sketching. He dreamt about creations and improvement across a diversity of fields. He was inventive, clever, bold, original and creative. Science was one of his most intensely loved subjects. His books gave explanations about his investigative methods. He tried to reason and argue that the Earth was much older than the Bible suggests, and he argued that falling sea levels not Noah's Flood left marine fossils on mountains. With his innovative, engineering mind, Leonardo Da Vinci actually imagined many modern machines, 100 years earlier.
Famous Inventions of Leonardo da Vinci:
Anemometer (instrument for measuring the speed of wind), Flying machine, helicopter (Aerial screw), Parachute, 33-Barreled Organ (multi-barrelled guns that could be loaded and fired simultaneously as compared to cannons), Armoured Car (precursor to the modern tank), Giant Crossbow, Triple Barrel Canon (mobile cannon for the battlefield), Clock (designed a more accurate clock), Ideal City(talents as an artist, architect, engineer and inventor), Robotic Knight (pulleys, weights and gears for a fully animated robot), Self-Propelled Cart (cart need not be pushed), Scuba gear ( plans for floating snowshoes, a breathing device for underwater exploration, a life preserver, and a diving bell that could attack ships from below).
Leonardo da Vinci was born on the 15th April 1452, to his parents Piero da Vinci and Caterina, in the Vinci region in Florence. Leonardo was educated in the studio of a Florentine painter, Verrocchio and much of his earlier life he worked for Ludovico IL Mora in Milan. He also worked in Rome, Bologna and Venice. He spent his last years in a home in France.
ReplyDeleteHe painted the Mona Lisa, The Last Supper and The Virgin of the Rocks. In order to make Mona Lisa smile, he invited clowns to entertain her while he painted her portrait!
One of Leonardo’s drawings shows the muscles of the arms and shoulders. This drawing could have only been drawn by observing a carefully dissected body.
Leonardo’s note book was full of diagram, including several for flying machines. Today, people still use his ideas and modern propeller are little bit similar to his design of a flying machine.
He also drew a remarkable plan of town of Imola in 1502. Some scholars believe it is the first geometric town plan ever produced.
Leonardo painted Francis I of France who greatly admired Leonardo’s work and gave him shelter for his last years of life.
He was a painter, anatomist, inventor and cartographer. He was exceptional man with talent beyond measure.
