Describe a famous person- Fixed

Leonardo da Vinci was a famous painter and scientist and one of the most famous people in the history of the world. He was known for his paintings and inventions. I learned about him in school three years ago in art lessons. I think he was a unique person, who knew most of the science fields.

Leonardo da Vinci was born in Italy in 1452. He started to paint when he was a young teenager. He painted pictures of beautiful or ugly people, he was one of the first caricaturists and cartoonists. He painted a lot of famous paintings such as The Mona Lisa, The Last Supper and The Vitruvian Man. Leonardo also wanted to fly, he studied about birds and insects and he built a model of a flying machine.


From drawings that Leonardo made for himself we see that he had a long beard and that he was bald. Leonardo was connected to many people and world leaders, such as the pope, the king of France and other famous painters in his life and that shows the appreciation he gor in his life and that he was a friendly figure.


In conclusion, I think that Leonardo was a very important man, who affected the period he lived until today. Leonardo da Vinci was one of the biggest artists and scientists in histroy. His paintings affected art and his inventions affected science and this is why I think that Leonardo was one of a kind.
