Bambach, Carmen C., ed. (2003). Leonardo da Vinci, Master Draftsman. New York: Metropolitan Museum of Art. ISBN 978-0-300-09878-5. The 19th century brought a particular admiration for Leonardo's genius, causing Henry Fuseli to write in 1801: "Such was the dawn of modern art, when Leonardo da Vinci broke forth with a splendour that distanced former excellence: made up of all the elements that constitute the essence of genius..." [162] This is echoed by A.E. Rio who wrote in 1861: "He towered above all other artists through the strength and the nobility of his talents." [163]

Retrieved 9 August 2022.The Mona Lisa, considered Leonardo's magnum opus, is often regarded as the most famous portrait ever made. [3] [173] The Last Supper is the most reproduced religious painting of all time, [157] and Leonardo's Vitruvian Man drawing is also considered a cultural icon. [174] Very little is known about Leonardo's childhood and much is shrouded in myth, partially because of his biography in the frequently apocryphal Lives of the Most Excellent Painters, Sculptors, and Architects (1550) by 16th-century art historian Giorgio Vasari. [27] [28] Tax records indicate that by at least 1457 he lived in the household of his paternal grandfather, Antonio da Vinci, [11] but it is possible that he spent the years before then in the care of his mother in Vinci, either Anchiano or Campo Zeppi in the parish of San Pantaleone. [29] [30] He is thought to have been close to his uncle, Francesco da Vinci, [3] but his father was probably in Florence most of the time. [11] Ser Piero, who was the descendant of a long line of notaries, established an official residence in Florence by at least 1469 and had a successful career. [11] Despite his family history, Leonardo only received a basic and informal education in (vernacular) writing, reading, and mathematics; possibly because his artistic talents were recognised early, so his family decided to focus their attention there.
