Leonardo Da Vinci was born in Vinci,Italy. Da Vince lived and studied in Florence,Italy. He was intellectual and active in many areas of life. He lived from April 15, 1452 to May 2, 1519.

During the Da Vinci time period being a Renaissance man was the best thing to be. A Renaissance man was a man with many talents. Da Vinci was a Renaissance man because he great at many things. He was an inventor,painter,sculpter,musician,author,anatomist,architect, and lastly a poet.

Da Vinci studied the Roman Ruins and works of Renaissance Architecture. He worked with Bramante a famous architecture at the time.

Da Vinci sketched the ideal city. It was very famous because he planned to build but never got the time to do so. It was a very good idea for that time period in urban life. His sketches could be used as foundation to build the actual city.

A work that demonstrates his skill was the ideal city. He made all of his sketches very precise. He planned it to make it very efficent and resourceful to humans. For Example, he made high bridges so that boats could pass under with out any trouble.

His Architecture is related to Eingeneering. Without Eingeneering Architecture cannot be constructed. You need eingeering to make it stand and be a good structure. You also need math to construct architecture as well.

Leonardo Da Vinci's work reflects Humanisn because he did inventions for humans. Such as bridges so that boats could pass and transport food and water. The clock was a good invention it showed that humans didnt nature to wake them up. He also made many painting that despicted human life such as the Last Supper and the Mona Lisa.

If Leonardo Da Vinci wouldve been born in a different time period he wouldnt have made all the paintings that he did. Also, his studies wouldnt be the same as they are now or as valid. He wouldnt have been able to do everything he did for his studies. Like disecting human bodies as research for the human anatomy. Humanism wouldnt have inspired him to all the things he did to benefit people.

Our favorite Da Vinci contribution was the painting of the Last Supper because it was very meaningful at the time. It raised a lot of questions and myths. In the Last Supper he drew a picture of Jesus telling his disciples that one of them would decieve him. We like it because it was beautiful and very talked about at the time and still today.
