Leonardo da Vinci was born in 1452 in Tuscany. As early as 1466, he was working in a workshop. Then, in 1482 he moved to Milan. After the plague had swept the city of Milan in 1484 and 85, he turned his attention to town planning and made several designs for churches and other buildings. He moved to Florence, another city in Italy in 1500 where he painted the famous Mona Lisa in 1503. Then he returned to Milan. Between 1510 and 1515, after he had been working as an architect and engineer to the French King Louis X II, he devoted himself to painting again and produced two great works St. Anne Marie & Child and St. John the Baptist. In 1515, the King of France invited Leonardo to live in France. He moved to a castle there where he spent his last years, carrying out his own research. He died in 1519.
