At a young age Da Vinci lived on his father’s family estate in
Vinci, Italy. During this period of his life, it is said that Da Vinci was influenced by his
uncle, who had a love of nature and had a hand in rearing him during his
formative years.(1)
Da Vinci had basic reading, writing and mathematical skills. His father recognized his potential as an artist, and sent him at the age of 14 or 15 to apprentice with sculptor and painter Andrea del Verrocchio of Florence. Leonardo spent six years honing his technical skills, including metalworking, leather arts, carpentry, drawing and sculpting, and became member of the Guild of Saint Luke by the age of 20. His life after his twenties went undocumented for a few years after being accused and acquitted of sodomy in Florence, though no one is certain of what truly took place. However, their is speculation among many who believe Leonardo Da Vinci was homosexual, because he had no wives, bared no children and died alone. |
"Leonardo remained with Verrocchio until he became an independent master in 1478. Around that time, he took on his first commissioned work, The Adoration of the Magi, for Florence’s San Donato, a Scopeto monastery. However, he never finished this work as he was soon lured to Milan to serve as an engineer, painter, architect and sculptor for the ruling Sforza dynasty. He worked on a bronze equestrian statue to honor dynasty founder Francesco Sforza off and on for 12 years, but war ultimately interfered and that project never came to fruition." (1)
