18
00:00:55.739 --> 00:00:58.379
why Leonardo is sometimes called a

19
00:00:58.379 --> 00:00:59.760
renaissance man

20
00:00:59.760 --> 00:01:03.140
his father said Piero and his mother

21
00:01:03.140 --> 00:01:07.200

23
00:01:11.040 --> 00:01:13.680

Italian

29
00:01:26.280 --> 00:01:30.720
and a fun fact as a kid Leonardo loved

30
00:01:30.720 --> 00:01:33.600
being out in nature and he never went to

31
00:01:33.600 --> 00:01:36.959
school but was educated at home in the

32
00:01:36.959 --> 00:01:41.040
areas of Reading Writing and Mathematics

33
00:01:41.040 --> 00:01:42.920
at the age of 15

34
00:01:42.920 --> 00:01:45.900
Leonardo da Vinci became an apprentice

35
00:01:45.900 --> 00:01:49.020
for a prominent artist named Andrea Del

36
00:01:49.020 --> 00:01:51.979
varrocchio in Florence

37
00:01:51.979 --> 00:01:54.659
Leonardo learned a painting technique

38
00:01:54.659 --> 00:01:57.479
called tempura which means that the

39
00:01:57.479 --> 00:01:59.520
artist mixes color pigments with water

40
00:01:59.520 --> 00:02:02.579
and egg yolk to make paint who knew that

41
00:02:02.579 --> 00:02:04.460
was even a thing

42
00:02:04.460 --> 00:02:07.380
Leonardo showed a huge talent for

43
00:02:07.380 --> 00:02:10.200
painting soon surpassing the skills of

44
00:02:10.200 --> 00:02:11.520
his mentor

45
00:02:11.520 --> 00:02:15.840
in 1482 he began work for the Duke of

46
00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:18.360
Milan and continued to paint and to

47
00:02:18.360 --> 00:02:20.760
sculpt during this time he was also

48
00:02:20.760 --> 00:02:22.620
commissioned by the Duke to design

49
00:02:22.620 --> 00:02:25.860
weapons buildings and machinery

50
00:02:25.860 --> 00:02:30.060
he had over 20 000 pages of ideas

51
00:02:30.060 --> 00:02:33.120
hundreds of years later some of these

52
00:02:33.120 --> 00:02:35.160
ideas and drawings were used as

53
00:02:35.160 --> 00:02:37.200
blueprints to create perfect working

54
00:02:37.200 --> 00:02:40.620
models some of these designs included

55
00:02:40.620 --> 00:02:42.739
sketches of hang gliders

56
00:02:42.739 --> 00:02:46.739
helicopters war machines musical

57
00:02:46.739 --> 00:02:47.879
instruments

58
00:02:47.879 --> 00:02:51.540
types of pumps Bridges and more

59
00:02:51.540 --> 00:02:54.900
here's an interesting fact Leonardo was

60
00:02:54.900 --> 00:02:57.060
so concerned that someone would copy his

61
00:02:57.060 --> 00:03:00.060
ideas that he spelled words backwards

62
00:03:00.060 --> 00:03:02.879
with reversed letters so that his notes

63
00:03:02.879 --> 00:03:05.099
would only be readable when reflected in

64
00:03:05.099 --> 00:03:08.580
the mirror talk about a secret code also

65
00:03:08.580 --> 00:03:11.760
during this time Leonardo produced his

66
00:03:11.760 --> 00:03:15.540
first anatomical or body studies

67
00:03:15.540 --> 00:03:18.360
his most famous of these studies is most

68
00:03:18.360 --> 00:03:21.239
likely Vitruvian man which you may have

69
00:03:21.239 --> 00:03:22.560
seen before

70
00:03:22.560 --> 00:03:25.080
recognize this painting

71
00:03:25.080 --> 00:03:27.720
it is called The Last Supper

72
00:03:27.720 --> 00:03:30.500
here's an interesting fact about it in

73
00:03:30.500 --> 00:03:34.739
1495 the Duke of Milan asked Leonardo to

74
00:03:34.739 --> 00:03:37.560
create a mural for his dining room this

75
00:03:37.560 --> 00:03:40.319
Priceless piece of art is what Leonardo

76
00:03:40.319 --> 00:03:43.560
created and it made him very popular as

77
00:03:43.560 --> 00:03:47.099
an artist can you imagine if the last

78
00:03:47.099 --> 00:03:50.040
supper was painted on your walls that

79
00:03:50.040 --> 00:03:54.780
would be pretty wild in 1503 Leonardo

80
00:03:54.780 --> 00:03:57.840
started work on the Mona Lisa one of the

81
00:03:57.840 --> 00:03:59.879
reasons why this painting has become so

82
00:03:59.879 --> 00:04:02.580
famous is because the eyes in the

83
00:04:02.580 --> 00:04:04.860
painting appear to follow you wherever

84
00:04:04.860 --> 00:04:06.299
you were standing

85
00:04:06.299 --> 00:04:09.840
which is kind of creepy and cool at the

86
00:04:09.840 --> 00:04:10.980
same time

87
00:04:10.980 --> 00:04:14.220
but Leonardo da Vinci was doing many

88
00:04:14.220 --> 00:04:16.380
other important things besides just

89
00:04:16.380 --> 00:04:19.500
creating art he designed a bridge in

90
00:04:19.500 --> 00:04:22.860
Constantinople he did many projects for

91
00:04:22.860 --> 00:04:26.040
the pope and he continued studying human

92
00:04:26.040 --> 00:04:28.139
anatomy and physiology

93
00:04:28.139 --> 00:04:32.580
eventually around the year 1516 Leonardo

94
00:04:32.580 --> 00:04:36.479
became the premier painter engineer an

95
00:04:36.479 --> 00:04:39.300
architect to the king of France Francis

96
00:04:39.300 --> 00:04:43.160
the first he died on May 2nd

97
00:04:43.160 --> 00:04:47.460
1519 at the age of 67.
