Leonardo da Vinci. Leonardo da Vinci was an artist, sculptor, architect and inventor. He drew early designs for many of the things we use today. He was born in 1452 and as a child he lived in Vinci, a small town near Florence, Italy. When he was 14, he started working for a local artist. He was clever and creative, so people soon began to ask him to paint for them. In 1482, he moved from Florence because he wanted to work for the Duke of Milan. During this time, he continued to paint and he also designed building and weapons. Leonardo moved back to Florence in 1500 and painted the Mona Lisa, the most famous painting in the world. At the age of 65, Leonardo went to live in Amboise, France. He died there three years later, in 1519. To this day, people go to see Leonardo da Vinci’s amazing work in museums and galleries all around the world. Remember the text of Module 2 and answer the questions: 1.
