Born on 15th April 1452, near the town of Vinci, in Tuscany, Leonardo was the illegitimate son of a prominent notary of Florence, Ser Piero, and a local peasant woman, Caterina. The young Leonardo showed so much artistic talent, that his father sent him to work as an apprentice for the renowned Florentine painter and sculptor, Andrea del Verrocchio. It was here that he learned the basics of painting, sculpture, engineering and technical arts.

In 1478, Leonardo da Vinci became an independent master and set up his own studio. It is rumoured that Verrocchio vowed to never paint again after seeing Leonardo's talent!
