Leonardo’s Life

Leonardo’s Childhood

Leonardo was born illegitimately which means he was a bastard. Some say he was with his mother until he became 3 years old. He then lived with his father but he always left house and left him there by himself. He also went outside to observe nature and landscapes.

Leonardo’s Adulthood

He was not good in formal education but his father sent him to sculptor and painter Andrea del Verrocchio of Florence. Leonardo was his apprentice, spent six years with him to improve his technical skills, including metalworking, leather arts, carpentry, drawing and sculpting, and became member of the Guild of Saint Luke.

Leonardo’s Death

Leonardo Da Vinci died on 2 May 1519 in Amboise, France because had a stroke and had other illness’s, which caused him a lot of pain. He died at the age of 67. There is a legend, which stated that Francis I was holding him when he was dying.

Q&A III

XII. Yes, because Lisa did look like a beauty and Leonardo did draw Lisa in his other portraits as well which means Leonardo probably admired her very much.

XIV. That Mona Lisa was a portrait of a real person and that is the most detailed portrait I have ever seen.

XV. That not all portraits or paintings are imagined and that you should observe a painting.

XVI. Yes I did like this painting because Leonardo spent 4 years of his life on it and the colours used in the portrait are rare and beautiful.

XVII. No not really it has just changed my view on Mona Lisa.

XVIII. I found out to like this investigation because it made me learn more about the identity of the photo and the beautiful textures it has.

Michelangelo Simoni also had similar artwork to Leonardo because they used the same texture in most of his photos such as the Sistine chapel ceiling.

II. I can see Crimson, deep moss green, dark golden rod and Khaki.

III. They mostly look similar but there are some differences like Mona’s skin and her coat.

IV. Leonardo is drawing Lisa Del Giocondo on a pallet and with a painting behind her.

V. There is an event going on because Lisa probably wanted a portrait of her.

VI. I did have an animated portrait of myself but there was no painting behind me painted.

VII. Yes because some artists have probably used in portraits that they have drawn.

Q&A II

VIII. This a world renowned portrait for its detail but I could say that this is the most detailed portrait of a person I have seen because others rush their art but Leonardo spent 4 years of his life on this portrait although it is an unfinished portrait.

IX. It sends a happy signal to a person viewing the portrait because the person in the portrait is smiling which makes the person think positive.

X. Leonardo probably thought Lisa was a beauty so he probably asked her “Could I draw painting of you” and that probably inspired him to draw Lisa.

XI. This portrait brightens my day because of the beautiful texture.
