Biography (1846 words)
In 1502 Leonardo entered the service of Cesare Borgia, duke of Romagna and son and chief general of Pope Alexander VI; in his capacity as the duke's chief architect and engineer, Leonardo supervised work on the fortresses of the papal territories in central Italy.
From 1514 to 1516 Leonardo lived in Rome under the patronage of Pope Leo X: he was housed in the Palazzo Belvedere in the Vatican and seems to have been occupied principally with scientific experimentation.
Leonardo's many extant drawings, which reveal his brilliant draftsmanship and his mastery of the anatomy of humans, animals, and plant life, may be found in the principal European collections; the largest group is at Windsor Castle in England.
Leonardo DaVinci (2235 words)
Leonardo was born on, "Saturday April 15, [1452] at three o'clock in the night".
In 1472, Leonardo was enrolled as a master in the Company of Painters; this indicates that his actual apprenticeship to Verrocchio had probably ended by this time, though he stayed at his master's workshop.
But Leonardo was ready to move on; exactly why is unknown but it may have been due to his disappointment at not being one of the four masters chosen to decorate the walls of the Sistine Chapel.
