      Leonardo da Vinci

      LEONARDO DA VINCI

      In the 1460s, Florence (a city in what is now Italy) was one of the most important places in Europe, and the rich men of the city had money to spend. It was a good place for an artist, because rich men wanted paintings and sculptures for their great new homes.

      In the workshop of the artist Andrea del Verrocchio, the apprentices worked hard, making paint, cutting stone, drawing and finishing paintings. One young apprentice was different from the others. He studied things carefully and asked questions about them. He learned from Verrocchio, from the other apprentices, and from the world around him. And soon the world would know the name of Leonardo da Vinci – one of the greatest painters and thinkers of all time.
