Leonardo da Vinci This image is a portrait of Leonardo whilst he was in the prime of his life. | The Last Supper Last Supper was painted in the 15th century, Italy. It shows the last passover dinner Jesus shared with his 12 companions when he announced one of them will betray him. It illustrates and is made with food. He used Oil paint and egg tempera (egg yolk) as the paint. After four years, the painting started to chip and flake away showing that the paint makes the colour less permanent. | A Diary Entry Leonardo loved all forms of science. In this image, you can see his entry about children inside the womb. When looking closely, you can tell that he is extremely accurate and these drawings are still used today. |

The Mona Lisa

Why Leonardo?
Leonardo da Vinci was a very creative person that inspired many others to be as inventive and original as he was. Leonardo has changed the world in so many different ways. From painting the Mona Lisa to the very first painting of a parachute. Leonardo da Vinci painted a picture of the parachute but he was so far ahead of his time that the technology could not sustain his ideas. Later, in 1783 the first parachute was finally created. He also contributed in the idea of scissors, another famous essential that we use almost every day.
