Leonardo
(c.1485-1532)


TIMELINE: The High Renaissance
‘‘The first object of the painter is to make a flat plane appear as a body in relief and projecting from that plane.'’
— Leonardo da Vinci
Leonardo DA VINCI (b. 1452, Vinci, Republic of Florence [now in Italy] — d. May 2, 1519, Cloux, Fr.), Italian painter, draftsman, sculptor, architect, and engineer whose genius, perhaps more than that of any other figure, epitomized the Renaissance humanist ideal. His Last Supper (1495-97) and Mona Lisa (1503-06) are among the most widely popular and influential paintings of the Renaissance. His notebooks reveal a spirit of scientific inquiry and a mechanical inventiveness that were centuries ahead of his time.
[Encyclopaedia Britannica, 1994]
