About (Profile/Biography):
Leonardo da Vinci was a famous artist, engineer, and inventor from Italy. He made a name for himself during the Italian Renaissance. Da Vinci worked both with the fine arts and in technical and scientific fields. His work was often commissioned by kings and nobles between the 1400s and 1500s. To get a better understanding of how things worked he would always draw schematics, sketches, and pictures of them. This helped him see the world from a technical point-of-view. As a result, the pieces he left behind were just as pleasant to look at as they were informative.

Career:

In the community of painters and physicians known as the "Guild of Saint Luke," Da Vinci had earned the title of master by 1472.

A sketch called "Arno Valley," made in 1473, with the aid of Verrocchio was one of his early sketches.

The Virgin of the Rocks was regarded as one of his greatest works because of its intricate manner and detailing.
