Language through the Arts

Leonardo the Artist and Scientist

Leonardo da Vinci was an Italian genius. He was born


in the town of Vinci on April 15, 1452.
He was an artist, sculptor, inventor, scientist,
mathematician, architect, and engineer. His interest
in science and nature had an effect on his work.
Leonardo Da Vinci is well-known around the world for
his drawings and paintings. The Mona Lisa is his most
popular piece of art. You can see it in the Louvre
Museum in Paris.
People are not sure about who the Mona Lisa is and
there are different theories; for example, that she was
the wife of a salesman, or even that some believe that
she represents the self-portrait of Leonardo as a woman.
Da Vinci kept the Mona Lisa until he died on May 2,
1519 in France.
