Leonardo da Vinci's "The Last Supper." Sandro Botticelli's "The Birth of Venus." During the Italian Renaissance, art was everywhere.
Born in the town of Vinci, near Florence in Italy, in 1452, Leonardo started out in 1476 as an assistant to the artist Andrea del Verroccio, and would go on to have the definitive Renaissance career as an artist, inventor and engineer. His notebooks were voluminous. Through to his death in 1519, he wrote the equivalent of around 20 books.
