Happy Birthday Leonardo!



Leonardo daVinci was born on April 15, 1452 in Florence, Italy.  Best known for the Mona Lisa and his painting of The Last Supper, Leonardo daVinci was a polymath.  (From the Greek root polymathes, meaning "having learned much")  A polymath is an individual who has expertise in a significant number of different subjects. 






Test your Leonardo daVinci knowledge:



Without including his paintings, can you list at least three areas of expertise daVinci had? 
Can you name two pieces of artwork without including The Last Supper or the Mona Lisa?
Do you know who is the only individual to privately own one of da Vinci's journals/notebooks?



** answers will be posted tomorrow!
