	Leonardo da Vinci in Mailand - Museo d'Arte e Scienza - Stiftung G. Matthaes
		Leonardo da Vinci, und nur er, übertraf in dieser Hinsicht alle anderen Maler.
		Leonardos Lehre ist eindeutig und klar: Der Maler sollte mit wissenschaftlichen Methoden und Überlegungen die Natur und ihre Erscheinungen beobachten und diese kopieren; denn sie sei von unübertreffbarer, unerschöpflicher und herrlicher Schönheit.
		Leonardo als Wissenschaftler, Flugtechniker, Kanalbauer sowie seine Studien über das Gleichgewicht von Fußballspielern (calcio fiorentino) und ein großer Stadtplan über seine Wirkungsorte in Mailand.

		For example, one of Leonardo's first big breaks was to paint an angel in Verrochio's "Baptism of Christ," and Leonardo was so much better than his master's that Verrochio allegedly resolved never to paint again.
		Alas, Leonardo's interests were so broad, and he was so often compelled by new subjects, that he usually failed to finish what he started.
		At first Leonardo was commissioned to make only a life-sized statue, already a difficult task, but his employer, Ludovico Sforza, then decided that the tribute to his father should be four times larger.

	Medieval Sourcebook: Giorgio Vasari: Life of Leonardo da Vinci 1550
		This was seen by all mankind in Leonardo da Vinci, in whom, besides a beauty of body never sufficiently extolled, there was an infinite grace in all his actions; and so great was his genius, and such its growth, that to whatever difficulties he turned his mind, he solved them with ease.
		Leonardo undertook to execute, for Francesco del Giocondo, the portrait of Mona Lisa, his wife; and after toiling over it for four years, he left it unfinished; and the work is now in the collection of King Frances of France, at Fontainebleau.
		Leonardo, understanding this, departed and went into France, where the King, having had works by his hand, bore him great affection; and he desired that he should colour the cartoon of S. Anne, but Leonardo, according to his custom, put him off for a long time with words.

		Leonardo was the illegitimate son of a local lawyer in the small town of Vinci in the Tuscan region.
		His father acknowledged him and paid for his training, but we may wonder whether the strangely self-sufficient tone of Leonardo's mind was not perhaps affected by his early ambiguity of status.
		What she is truly like she conceals; what Leonardo reveals to us is precisely this concealment, a self-absorption that spares no outward glance.

	Leonardo da Vinci Biography from Who2.com
		Leonardo da Vinci is best remembered as the painter of the Mona Lisa (1503-1506) and The Last Supper (1495).
		Leonardo also was quirky enough to write notebook entries in mirror (backwards) script, a trick which kept many of his observations from being widely known until decades after his death.
		Extra credit: Leonardo da Vinci means "Leonardo from the town of Vinci," and thus he is generally referred to in short as "Leonardo" rather than as "da Vinci"...
