Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) was incredibly gifted in many ways. From sketches to paintings to scientific inventions (like the parachute), Leonardo was a man ahead of his time. Born in Vinci, Italy, Leonardo moved to Florence as a teenager. There, he began to blossom as an artist's apprentice. He then moved to Milan and became a city planner and architect for the town. Word of his talents soon spread, making Leonardo a famous man. Driven by passion and truth, he set the standards for all artists and scientists of his day. Most historians refer to Leonardo as the ultimate Renaissance Man. //The ANNUNCIATION is Leonardo's earliest surviving painting.
