Leonardo di Vice

Leonardo di Vince was born on April 15,1452 into a "well off" family. His father was a notary and his mother was a peasant woman. He happily lived with his birth mom for four years. At age 4 he went to live with his dad and a step mom because his father was rich and his mom was poor. At an early age he had a love for nature, animals, and surprisingly he was a vegetarian. At age 15 he went to be an apprentice under Verrocchio and fast he became much better than him. After that he became interested in painting, architecture, engineering, and anatomy. In 1505-1507 he painted the Mona Lisa. He had over 13000 pages of drawings. Sadly he died in France May 2, 1519.
