I do hope you grow up to love art. Okay, maybe you don't have to LOVE art, but surely you'll grow up with an appreciation for it!
Leonardo Da Vinci was one of our greatest . . . his most well known painting? Why, The Mona Lisa, of course:
To quote "the best known, the most written about, the most sung about, the most parodied work of art in the world!"
His most recognized sketch: The Vitruvian Man . . . Da Vinci's vision of the "ideally proportioned man."
Oh yeah . . . he's also the guy who painted The Last Supper!!
And to think . . . he was born to a peasant woman . . . his father a wealthy legal notary . . . out of wedlock . . . had 12 . . . TWELVE . . . half-siblings! The youngest sibling was born when he was 40 years old. He lived with his mother for the first 5 years, and then went to live with his father where he began his real education. Incredible what you learn when you start Googling something!
