The painter&#8217;s extravagant personality has been reflected in his works of art which have attracted the attention of numerous art generations worldwide.<\/p>\n<p>Leonardo Da Vinci\u2019s life has been like the one from a movie. Born to a woman who was considered the\u00a0 slave to a landlord in the Italian region of Tuscany, the painter developed an early affinity for the art world and became a leading figure of the Renaissance.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Leonardo Da Vinci was an illegitimate child<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>He was born in 1452 near Vinci, with modest means, and not being the product of a legitimate marriage.<\/p>\n<p>There is a speculation that his mom Caterina was initially his father&#8217;s slave that later on became his lover.\u00a0 Da Vinci\u2019s mother never married Messer Piero, her landlord. He married another woman, and Da Vinci moved to the new couple\u2019s house when he was 5 years old.<\/p>\n<p>Da Vinci was particularly close to his father, but barely communicated with his estranged mother, after he left her home. Her influence on his life was bare, but he maintained a strong emotional tie with his father throughout his life.<\/p>\n<p>Leonardo&#8217;s baptism was a popular event, with 10 godparents present in the celebration.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Leonardo Da Vinci Was Illiterate<\/strong><\/h4>\n<div id=\"attachment_37770\" style=\"width: 778px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/leonardo.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-37770\" class=\"size-full wp-image-37770\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/leonardo.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"768\" height=\"432\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/leonardo.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/leonardo-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-37770\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image by Famous Biographies<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Despite being a high-profile Renaissance artist, Da Vinci did not have formal education, just basic instructions in writing and math.<\/p>\n<p>His obsession with water was the leading stimulus of his creativity.\u00a0 Da Vinci enjoyed observing the water and getting inspiration from its fluctuations and movements.<\/p>\n<p>His penchant for art found expression later in his life after he was sent to Florence to work as an apprentice for the remarkable painter Andrea Del Verrocchio.
