Leonardo da Vinci
Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci,
more commonly Leonardo da Vinci (15 April 1452 – 2 May
1519) was an Italian polymath whose areas of interest included invention, painting, science, music, engineering, anatomy, writing, cartography and etc. He has been variously called the father of paleontology, ichnology, and architecture, and is widely considered one of the greatest painters of all time. Sometimes credited with the inventions of the parachute, helicopter, his genius epitomized the Renaissance humanist ideal.

Childhood
Leonardo was born on 15 April 1452 in the Tuscan hill
town of Vinci, in the lower valley of the Arno river in
the territory of the Medici-ruled Republic of Florence. He was the out-of-wedlock son of the wealthy Messer Piero Fruosino di Antonio da Vinci, a Florentine legal notary, and Caterina, a peasant.
Little is known about Leonardo's early life. He spent his first five years in the hamlet of Anchiano in the home of his mother, then from 1457 he lived in the household of his father, grandparents and uncle, Francesco, in the small town of Vinci. His father had married twice.
Leonardo received an informal education in Latin, geometry and mathematics.

From September 1513 to 1516, under Pope
Leo X, Leonardo spent much of his time living
in the Belvedere in the Vatican in Rome, where Raphael and Michelangelo were both active at the time. In 1516, he entered François' service, being given the use of the manor house Clos Lucé near the king's residence at the royal Château d'Amboise. It was here that he spent the last three years of his life, accompanied by his friend and apprentice, Count Francesco Melzi, and supported by a pension totalling 10,000 scudi.

Mona Lisa or La Gioconda
Among the works created by Leonardo
in the 16th century is the small portrait known
as the Mona Lisa or "la Gioconda", the laughing one. In the present era it is arguably the most famous painting in the world. Its fame rests, in particular, on the elusive smile on the woman's face, its mysterious quality brought about perhaps by the fact that the artist has subtly shadowed the corners of the mouth and eyes so that the exact nature of the smile cannot be determined.
