Leonardo Da Vinci

Childhood

He was born on Saturday, April 15, 1452.

Leonardo was the illegitimate son: his father knocked up a young humble peasant family named Caterina.

His father, Messer Piero di Antonio Fruosino was notary, chancellor and ambassador of the Republic of Florence.

Leonardo was baptized and spent his first five years in the house of his father in Vinci, where it was treated as a legitimate child.

Leonardo painted The Virgin of the Rocks (1483-1486) for the Confraternity of the Immaculate Conception, which would go to the chapel San Francesco Grande in Milan.

This scenario was the source of a conflict between the author and the owners that lasted several years.

Leonardo obtained the right to copy the work, but later began a legal problem with this.

The problem was not resolved until there were judicial decisions and the intervention of some friends, ending with two versions of the work.
