Non illustré. Mises à jour gratuites en ligne. Extrait : Léonard de Vinci (Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci, dit Leonardo da Vinci), né à Vinci le 15 avril 1452 et mort à Amboise le 2 mai 1519, est un peintre italien et un homme d'esprit universel, à la fois artiste, scientifique, ingénieur, inventeur, anatomiste, peintre, sculpteur, architecte, urbaniste, botaniste, musicien, poète, philosophe et écrivain. Après son enfance à Vinci, Léonard est élève auprès du célèbre peintre et sculpteur florentin Andrea del Verrocchio. Ses premiers travaux importants sont réalisés au service du duc Ludovic Sforza à Milan. Il œuvre ensuite à Rome, Bologne et Venise et passe les dernières années de sa vie en France, à l'invitation du roi François I. Léonard de Vinci est souvent décrit comme l'archétype et le symbole de l'homme de la Renaissance, un génie universel et un philosophe humaniste dont la curiosité infinie est seulement égalée par la force d'invention. Il est considéré comme un des plus grands peintres de tous les temps et peut-être la personne la plus talentueuse dans le plus grand nombre de domaines différents ayant jamais vécu. C'est d'abord comme peintre que Léonard de Vinci est reconnu. Deux de ses œuvres, La Joconde et La Cène, sont des peintures très célèbres, souvent copiées et parodiées, et son dessin de l'Homme de Vitruve est également repris dans de nombreux travaux dérivés.
