Leonardo da Vinci was born in Florence, Italy. He started painting when he was about 14 years old. He left around 30 paintings, which weren't all finished. Da Vinci painted the Mona Lisa when he was 51 and worked on it for more than 3 years. He painted The Last Supper when he was 43 and it also took him a few years to finish. His art is famous worldwide and many people look up to him.
The Last Supper
This was painted in 1495 and finished it in 1498. I like the message this painting gives.
Virgin of the Rocks
_Da Vinci started this painting in 1495 and finished it in1508. I like it because it seems like the mother is taking care of her children.
Adoration of the Magi
The Adoration of the Magi was painted in 1481. I like it because it shows Virgin Mary with young Leonardo himself in the corner.
The Lady of the Dishevelled Hair
Nobody knows for sure when da Vinci painted this piece. I like it because the woman's face is very bold and the background is kind of blurred.
Self Portrait
This is a self portrait da Vinci painted of himself. I like the colors and how it's very nuetral.
Mona Lisa
This famous painting was painted in 1503 and finished it in 1507. I like this painting because her facial expression is dull but there is a lot going on in the background.
Lady with an Ermine
Da Vinci worked on this painting from 1489–1490. I like the little animal in this painting because there must be a story behind it.
Portrait of Cecilia Gallerani
This was painted in 1483-1490
Flower Studies
I really like this painting because it's simple but yet it is very detailed. A lot of his paintings are this color.
Head of Leda
I like this painting because the woman's hair is super detailed. The colors are also really simple and unique.
