What milestones did Leonardo da Vinci have?

Answer 1

1466 Began his career as an apprentice to Florentine artist Andrea del Verrochio 1470 Contributed a kneeling angel to Verrochio's Baptism of Christ. Leonardo's angel is generally considered superior to Verrochio's central figures. 1481 Began painting Adoration of the Magi, an unfinished work that reveals his technique of beginning with a dark painting surface and adding elements of light, unlike most painters of his time who started with outlined figures on a white surface 1485 While serving the duke of Milan as a military advisor, painted The Virgin of the Rocks, which demonstrated his use of sfumato, a technique he developed for blending tones to create a soft glow and sense of atmosphere 1495-1497 At Santa Maria delle Grazie in Milan, painted The Last Supper, a dramatic depiction of the moment Jesus announced that he would be betrayed 1503 Began but did not finish Battle of Anghiari, a work that broke with conventions of battle painting and depicted the violent fury of battle rather than the historical narrative 1503-1506 Painted the Mona Lisa, which he kept with him for the remainder of his life 1506 Was summoned to Milan by Charles d'Amboise, where he designed a military monument that was never built, and devoted his energies to anatomical studies 1510?-1513? Drew a self-portrait, perhaps the most famous of the many drawings he produced 1514-1516 Resided in the Vatican and focused his attention on scientific experimentation 1516 Moved to France to enter the service of King Francis I, and spent much of his remaining years conversing with the king and observing the properties of water
