Leonardo da Vinci

Born on April 15, 1452, in Vinci, Italy, Leonardo da Vinci was concerned with the laws of science and nature, which greatly informed his work as a painter, sculptor, inventor and draftsmen. His ideas and body of work—which includes “The Last Supper,” and “Mona Lisa” made da Vinci a leading light of the Italian Renaissance.
