He was very young. His father sent him to a painter workshop to learn his trade and as a painters assistant he was required to work on specific things in the assigned paintings. One of the first items he was recognized for was an angel he painted in the painting. His talent showed in his rendition of the angel. At that time he was about 15 years old. His mother was a poor woman and his father never recognized him as a son so sending him to the workshop was his father's duty to some extent. Da Vinci took the name of the town where he lived and kept to himself for most of his life.
