about his life and art he's so talented like wow ------------------------------------- Leonardo di ser Pierdo da Vinci was born on April 15, 1452 and died on May 2, 1519, making various accomplishments during his lifetime in not only art, but also science, math, and anatomy, just to name a few. He was the illegitimate son of notary Pierdo da Vinci and peasant, Caterina. da Vinci studied in Florence, Italy under the esteemed painter, Verrocchio and later under the artist Ludovico Sforza in Milan. de Vinvi lived in a variety of locations during his lifetime, allowing for influences from other artists, in very art- focused cities such as Rome, Bologna, Venice, and France. The Virgin of the Rocks, also known as Madonna of the Rocks, actually is the title for two pieces which are very similar and both painted by da Vinci. The one on the right is the second of the two and has a slightly more finished appearance due to its vibrancy in color and high level of preservation.
