I found out that Leonardo da Vinci was born on 15 April 1452 near the Tuscan town of Vinci, he was the illegitimate son of a local lawyer. As a young man he was apprenticed to the sculptor and painter Andrea del Verrocchio in Florence and in 1478 became an independent master. In about 1483, he moved to Milan to work for the ruling Sforza family as an engineer, sculptor, painter and architect. From 1495 to 1497 he produced a mural of The Last Supper in the refectory of the Monastery of Santa Maria delle Grazie, Milan.
His life was made up of him traveling to and from Milan and his hometown gathering inspiration for his many inventions and paintings. In 1506, Leonardo returned to Milan, remaining there until 1513 this was followed by three years based in Rome. In 1517, at the invitation of the French king Francis I, Leonardo moved to Amboise in France, where he died on 2 May 1519.
The fame of Leonardo's surviving inventions and paintings means that he is regarded as an artist. He wrote and drew on subjects including geology, anatomy, flight, gravity and optics, often changing from subject to subject on a single page. He invented the bicycle, airplane, helicopter, and parachute some 500 years ahead of their time.
Knowing a bit more about Leonardo's life i felt more able to think about the options for the 3D animation.
