About the Leonardo Da Vinci Video
Leonardo Davinci was an amazing and talented man, who despite having no formal education was a master of any and every field that caught his interest. Born to an unwed teenage woman in 1452, Da Vinci was raised by his father. Because he was an illegitimate son, Leonardo was not offered the chance to become a notary like his father. This gave him a freedom to pursuit art. But his interests were extensive and he studied everything imaginiable. He wrote 16,000 pages of notes and research in his private journals which are presented as excerpts in this video. Da Vinci was a true master, although he lived a life without a wife or children, he left behind an amazing legacy and masterpieces that draw more crowds every year than any other artist in history
