Painter, sculptor, architect, musician, scientist, mathematician, engineer, inventor, anatomist, geologist, cartographer, botanist and writer, Leonardo da Vinci was a genius who was well ahead of his time and the best example of the Renaissance man. This is the story of one of the greatest painters of all time and perhaps the most diversely talented person ever to have lived.
Leonardo grew up in the hamlet of Anchiano in Tuscany where received an informal education. Young Leonardo had an unquenchable curiosity in life and moved to Florence where he took an interest in painting. And at the age of fourteen, Leonardo began an apprenticeship with Andrea del Verrocchio. Here, Leonardo’s talent blossomed and as fate would have it he was soon employed by the rich and powerful Duke of Milan. Soon, Leonardo moved to the grand city of Rome, where some of the greatest artists of the time lived. This tale traces the life of Leonardo as a young boy in the quest for art, life and something bigger than that, who later paints some of the most exquisite works of art which made him immortal.
