Leonardo was born on April 15, 1452, in Vinci, Italy, just outside Florence.. Leonardo got his start as an artist around 1469, when his father apprenticed him to the fabled workshop of Verocchio.
Verocchio's specialty was perspective, which artists had only recently begun to get the hang of, and Leonardo quickly mastered its challenges.
In fact, Leonardo quickly surpassed Verocchio, and by the time he was in his early twenties he was downright famous. He drew Monariza, Saint Anna, the last supper, etc.
