He was an Iatlian painter, sculptor, scientist, mathematician, musician, architect, polymath, writer, inventor, anatomist, geologist, engineer, and botanist. he is considered widely to be one of the greatest painters of all time and most likely the most diversely talented person ever to be lived on earth. According to the art historian Helen Gardner, the depth of his interests were without precedent and "his mind and personality seem to us superhuman, the man himself myserious and remote." But some of his smaller inventions entered the world of manufactoring upheralded. For example, the automated Bobbin winder and a machine for testing the tenile strength of wire.
Leonardo was educated in the studio of the wenowned Florentine painter, Verrocchio. He then later worked in Rome, Bologna, and Venice and spent his last years in France. Which in fact, at the home awarded him by Francis I. Leonardo was and is now known as a painter. Which two of his works the MONA LISA and THE LAST SUPPER are the most famous. And was also the most perodied portiat and religious paintign of all time.
Although, these few works, including hiis notebooks that are contained of drawings, scientific diagrams, and his thoguhts on the nature of painting were a contribution to later generations of artists. But as a scientist, he greatly advanced in the state of knowledge, in the fields of anatomy, civil engineering, optics, and hydrodynamics.

Professional Life

Florentine had records on Leonardo &other men charged for sodomy. In 1482 Leonardo, was a most talented musician, according to Vasari. And as a gift, Leonardo was sent to Milan to secure peace with Ludovico il Moro, Duke of Milan. At this time Leonardo wrote an often-quoted letter to Ludovico, describing all the diverse things that he could achieve in the areas of engineering and informing the Lord that he could also paint.
Leonardo continued work in Milan between 1482 and 1499. He was commissioned to paint the Virgin of the Rocks for the Confraternity of the Immaculate Conception, and The Last Supper for the monastery of Santa Maria delle Grazie.[26] While living in Milan between 1493 and 1495 Leonardo listed a woman called Caterina among his dependents in his taxation documents. When she died in 1495, the list of funeral expenditure suggests that she was his mother.[27] 1502 Leonardo entered the service of Cesare Borgia, the son of Pope Alexander VI, acting as a military architect and engineer and travelling throughout Italy with his patron.[28] He returned to Florence where he rejoined the Guild of St Luke on October 18, 1503, and spent two years designing and painting a great mural of The Battle of Anghiari for the Signoria,[28] with Michelangelo designing its companion piece, The Battle of Cascina

Old Age

From September 1513 to 1516, 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.[34] In October 1515, Francis I of France recaptured Milan. Leonardo died at Clos Lucé, on May 2, 1519. Francis I had become a close friend. Vasari records that the King held Leonardo's head in his arms as he died, although this story, beloved by the French and portrayed in romantic paintings by Ingres, Ménageot and other French artists, as well as by Angelica Kauffmann, may be legend rather than fact. Before the death of Leonardo,a few days before, Vasari had sent Leonardo to the priest to confess and receive the Holy Sacrament.
