Bristles' Brief Guide To Leonardo da Vinci
One famous artist in under a minute. Let’s go.
Leonardo da Vinci, Italian Renaissance artist who created some of the most famous paintings in history.
Here, have you seen this one? The Mona Lisa took seven years to complete.
How about you try smiling for that long?
Da Vinci also painted one of the most famous suppers. That’s dinner or tea to me and you.
And he’s responsible for this drawing that used geometry to show the ideal proportions of man.
Four hands. Good for juggling.
Da Vinci also invented stuff like a flying machine 400 years before actual flight. Not a surprise when you see this attempt.
Not bad for someone who never went to school.
Leonardo da Vinci completed, high-five!
Or should I say high twenty? Grazie!
