Leonardo Da Vinci was a great man who knew so much about the world around him. He was an artist, an astronomer, a botanist and an expert on the anatomy of the human body.
He was called Da Vinci, because he was born in the Italian town of Vinci in 1542. In his early years worked in a studio of a well known painter, and when he was 20 years. He him self was a well known person. Leonardo Da Vinci was a great inventor. He drew sketches of machines, long before they were invented. Aeroplan was one of them.
During his time dissecting of dead bodies was prohibited by law. But he did this all the same as he wanted to know much about the structure of the human body. He made sketches of the bones, muscles and many internal organs. Leonardo was also a pioneer in Geology. Some of Leonardo's paintings are among the world's greatest works of art. Two of these are the Mona Lisa and Virgin of the Rock.
