Renaissance Person
Have you ever wonder what you would do with your life? Well I, Leonardo da Vinci, had a pretty good idea when I was growing up. My father was a longstanding painter so I had access to some of the best artworks and texts to read in the world. Then, when I was only fifteen, I was taken in for my apprenticeship. I was working under the very talented and renowned Andrea Del Verrochio. I stayed with him in his workshop until I decided it was time to make my own and leave in 1477.
I then spent around twenty year’s studding at Duke and in Milan. A lot of people say that this is when I ‘first start coming’ around as a painter and scientist. What I studied at Duke helped me in thinking of a lot of my designs. I was always painting and working on sculptures here. I had so many apprentices buzzing around me, it was hard to work!
Sometimes I would be working on a project that I had been working on, and then I would think of a new design or artwork to create. Then I would just stop the other one. I guess you could say that I had “a lot on my plate to think about.” Around this time, I got the idea to start writing down all of my artworks a journal. That way I would always remember all of the works that I have.
In 1503, I started to work on my best masterpiece so far. I call it the “Mona Lisa”. I pulled an average woman off of the street and had her model for me. I did this rather than an upper-class lady so that people would understand that things like that don’t really matter. I also did a few great other things which are the "The Virgin and Child with St. Anne" and I was offer head painter for the King! Then around sixteen years after I created the “Mona Lisa”, I passed away with King Francis at my side.
