Leonardo da Vinci

There is usually one and the same answer to those questions 'Why did XXX become an artist?' Because they felt they had the talent and the urge. It is as simple as that!

Yes, he was an apprentice of Andrea del Verrocchio, a sculptor and painter in Florence.

*I don't think he has written a poem but he always said "Art is Like Poetry"*

This is incorrect.

The precise quote that the above author is referring to is "Painting is poetry that is seen rather than felt, and poetry is painting that is felt rather than seen."

Apart from being an accomplished scientist and scholar, he was also a poet of (undeservedly small) reknown. He wrote a few sonnets and some blank verse, as was discovered from his notebooks. These can't be found on Google but your local library will probably be able to help you.

because he was bored of Italy and was hunted by the mafia for stealing a loaf of bread.

It wasn't boredom; he feared for his life. Leonardo generated an incredible amount of jealousy among his contemporaries, and fear, because of his multi-tiered genius, and because there was no one like him. He grew weary of defending himself, and fled his home in Florence and effectively was homeless for about a year, before Francis I invited him to France. He was anonymous in his travels, using many pseudonyms to avoid people's wrath. Not only was he gifted in the arts and sciences, but was magnificently handsome and possessed a stunning singing voice. This left everyone nearly apopleptic with jealousy. He was also homosexual, and that has never been an acceptable lifestyle to Italians, generally speaking.

These are the main two.

Other ones could be a

Hanglider

Parachute

But there aren't machines, so the top two should be your best choice.

He was apprenticed to Andrea del Verrocchio.

Leonardo da Vinci began painting the Mona Lisa in 1503 or 1504 in Florence, Italy. According to Leonardo's contemporary, Giorgio Vasari, "...after he had lingered over it four years, left it unfinished...." Leonardo, later in his life, is said to have regretted "never having completed a single work".

He was given the position of engineer, artist, party planner, and was commissioned to make a statue of the Duke on a bronze horse. It never happened and the things he told them he could do were concepts and not actual working items. The bronze ended up being used for cannonballs.

Used in the face are mostly worm colours such as yellows, oranges, reds and tones in between. In the backround there are mostly cold colours such as green and blue. There are not any specific colours and also over time the original colour of the painting has faded. Hope this is at least a little bit helpful.

Leonardo Da Vinci's first painting was the "Virgin of the Rocks", it was completed in 1480

He designed a helicopter. Or rather: in his sketchbook there is a sketch of something which looks similar to a helicopter and was meant to driven by a man pedaling. and a diving suit

Some years as an apprentice to the one of the leading artists in Florence.

the first was jaques Andre garnerin over London October 1797

:Leonardo da Vinci's contribution to photography was the camera obscura. The device is a box that has a hole in one end, and allows light to reflect off mirrors, projecting an image onto a screen or wall.

This is like asking how the sun warms the earth. De Vinci and Michelangelo were the Renaissance. They embodied the new thinking and they expressed this in their art and work. This was the "rebirth" of scholarship, architecture, and visual arts with the restrictions of earlier thinking gone. The dynastic families that supported them and commissioned them to create the great works of art that we view today. They didn't see their work as great and they were very poor people, but without them the art world and the Renaissance wouldn't have been the same.

Leonardo da Vinci faced many problems. He was born out of wedlock. His mother was a poor peasant. Another problem was he was a scientist in a time that the Roman Catholic Church was very suspicious of scientists. He was also charged with sodomy but was acquitted.

First, he drew the Mona Lisa

second he was a great inventor

It was painted during a few years, not months. (1503-1506)

No, Leonardo of Vinci. The 'proper nouns' are Leonardo, Vinci so they both get capital letters, but not the 'of'.

"As a young man Leonardo was arrested for engaging in sodomy. At that time in Florence the punishment for this crime included fines, exile, branding, or even execution. Luckily for Leonardo, another man accused with him also happened to have strong connections to the influential Medici family. The charges were soon dropped against both of them."

There is no specific and overall message in any artists paintings. It is the veiwer and critics interpretation that is of concern. Each painting should stand on its own merit as each is different, As is each viewer.

He introduced the idea of scientific observation. (APEX) ^.^

Yes, he was. He didn't believe it to be right to inflict pain against others.

"Truly man is the king of beasts, for his brutality exceeds theirs. We live by the death of others: we are burial places! I have from an early age abjured the use of meat, and the time will come when men such as I will look on the murder of animals as they now look on the murder of men." ~ Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci was an artist in the Italian Renaissance. He made many contributions to science and technology with his art. He drew pictures of the inside of peoples body, to show what it looks like and how it is supposed to function. That is when people figured out that the heart pumps all the blood in your body. Also, he drew many inventions, such as the flying machine. All the things that he has done has helped doctors, scientist and even normal people like us today. He was probably the greatest artist of all time.
