Leonardo Da Vinci 1452-1519

Leonardos Life and paintings

     Living until the age of 67 Leonardos life had three main importants in it painting, sculpting, and inventing. As a breif of his whole life there is a saying: "Leonardo da Vinci was like a man who awoke too early in the darkness, while the others were all still asleep" Sigmund Freud (http://www.kausal.com/leonardo/.com). Leonardo's first painting that was recorded was called The Baptism of Christ which Leonardo assisted his master Andrea del Verrocchio in, The painting showed and Angel crowning Christ (on your right). Between 1476 and 1478 Leonardo was suposed as to having his own workshop and there he sketched the same Angel that had been painted in the The Baptism of Christ that his Master had created.

The Baptism of Christ, 1472-75

      Leonardos most famous pieces of recorded art was The Monalisa and The Last Supper. "The Monalisa" was called the most beautiful woman ever to be painted. Unfortunatly a rumor was that she would not smile when being painted. "The Last Supper" was a strange puzzle the painting was showing Jesus and his deciples shareing the last meal with one another befor Jesus was crusified, but sitting next to Jesus was ether a meaning or an error on his right there was a woman. Only men were allowed to be deciples, was this a mistake or is this Mary Magdalin the mother of christ?
