Biography
Leonardo Da Vinci was born in the town of Vinci, in Tuscany, Italy. Leonardo Da Vinci was going to have to deal with 4 stepmothers and 15 half brothers and sisters since he was born outside of a marriage, which means he was an illegitimate child. When was 4 he saw his entire town floooded. Leonardo Da Vinci was an Italian polymath: painter, sculptor, architect, musician, scientist, mathematician, engineer, inventor, anatomist, geologist, cartographer, botanist and writer. Leonardo da Vinci's eyes were blue and I think his hair was blond before graying. Something that is amazing though he painted moving water as still and many years later people got a frozen picture of moving water and it looked the same. Leonardo da vincibirth and death. April 15, 1452 – May 2, 1519

Why he should be studied
Since he is dead you can study him without having to worry about keeping track of any new creations. Also he is interesting and odd, I can relate to the latter. He may have inspired painters because of "The Mona Lisa". He may have inspired engineers because of the wheel-lock handgun. He invented too many things to ignore.



Contrib utions
Leonardo Da Vinci contributed by making plenty of things we still use now like the tank, the handgun, the helicopter, the glider, the parachute, and many more things.

Inventions
He invented many things like a war chariot with spinning blades, the Mona Lisa, a 24 foot tall horse made of clay, a giant ballista,and things you would not think existed.
