Famous artist

This week we had to choose a famous artist and write about them.  I chose Leonardo da Vinci.


Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci, but commonly known as Leonardo da Vinci was born on April 15, 1452 in Vinci, Republic of Florence.  He died on May 2, 1519 (aged 67) in Amboise, Kingdom of France.  His strengths were painting, sculpting, architecture, science, music, mathematics, engineering, invention, anatomy, geology, astronomy, botany, writing, history and cartography. 


This is the first artwork I like from Leonardo da Vinci is the Mona Lisa.  I chose it because it was one of his most famous paintings.  This artwork was made, "the best known, the most visited, the most written about, the most sung about, the most parodied work of art in the world". It is believed to been painted between 1503 and 1506. 












My second piece of art that I liked is called The Last Supper.  It was panted between the years of 1494-1499.  This is one of the worlds most famous paintings, and one of the most studied, scrutinized and satirized.
