Leonardo da Vinci:

                                                

    Leonardo da Vinci was born early in the world on April 15, 1452. He spent his five first years in the Hamlet of Anchiano. Very little is known about his early life. He loved art at that age and started painting right away. His family was a bit awkward since the mother and wife wasn't married when they had him. The mother was Caterina and the father was Pierro da Vinci. Some of Leonardo's major accomplishments was the invention of the Mechanical Machine. Also, he painted the Mona Lisa and Annunleation. He also sketched out many war machines and things like that, but never really invented them. Some interesting facts of his was that he was an illegitimate son since his mom and dad had never married. Also, he was as professional at five things : architect, musician, engineer, scientist, and inventor. Finally, he was an extreme example of a renaissance genius.

Quotes: 

    "While I thought that I was learning how to live, I have been learning how to die." This was an amazing quote since it explains a lot in such few words. It creates a stir because its hard to identify what it means, but it means that he hadn't really found out the meaning of life until now and he's too old. Another quote by Leonardo: "Art is never finished, but only abandoned." This means that your art can always be better but you never touch it, thinking that it's already perfect. Finally, the last quote is, " The noblest pleasure is the joy of understanding." This clearly states that you can't have pleasure with something if you don't understand what it meNs.


Achievements:

    A major accomplishment that affected the world was all of his mechanical machines. This is because many people have had ideas of this during their time and they may have tried to invent it. He invented miniature versions of them, although. Another painting was the Mona Lisa. Many people come to the museum in France that holds this wonderful piece, which is priceless. It is a very famous piece. Lastly, he sketched out the ideas of war machines and was the first one to think about a plane! Many people in the 20th century saw these and actually made this.
