Leonardo loves learning about the world around him and develops his own style of drawing called “knowing how to see.” He creates thousands of drawings in his quest to understand the world. From far and wide, wealthy patrons ask Leonardo to paint their portraits or create inventions to make their cities safer. When the city of Venice is attacked by sea, who do they ask to help them in their time of need? Leonardo! When the Duke of Milan wants a mural in his new church, who does he ask to paint it? Leonardo!

Through his impressive artistic talent and scientific curiosity, Leonardo’s contributions permanently change how people view the world.
