=//__My Early Life__//=


 * I was born on the 16th of March 1475 in Tuscany and I died at the age of 88 on February the 18th 1564, I had 5 brothers and was never in a relationship either, my father was called Lodovico di Leonardo and my mother was called Francesca di Neri. In the renaissance I was an italian painter, sculptor, architect, poet and engineer.**

I **was apprenticed in painting with** [|**Domenico Ghirlandaio**]**and in sculpture with** [|**Bertoldo di Giovanni**]**. But in 1489 Florence's ruler** [|**Lorenzo de' Medici**]**asked Ghirlandaio for his two best pupils, and he picked me and someone called Ghirlandaio. And from 1490 to 1492, I attended Lorenzo's school and was influenced by many people. And during my life in school I met people like** [|**Pico della Mirandola**]**,** [|**Angelo Poliziano**]**and** [|**Marsilio Ficino**]**.**

=//__Things I have made__//=


 * Over the years have made the sculpture of David, the Pieta, Basilica di Santa Croce di Ferenze, the last supper and the Laurentian Library.**




 * I saved many people's souls, I would work 4 hours a night on my projects and in the 16th century I was the greatest artist of all times, so I was not like Versalius, who saved people's lives but I saved people's souls instead. I also inspired many other artists too, I would always make a sculpture or paint a painting, because it had an important topic to it for example the last supper that was a special event that took place.**

=Other artists I inspired=


 * But everyday I draw for over 2 hours, to pratice new techniques, but sometimes in my drawings I would express male beauty emotion too. But I always many other artists like** [|**Bernini**]**he was born after he is a sculptor, painter and architecture he got his idea's off of able to do his work of art, for example the Blessed Ludovica he took the details from that I had**


 * But one of my most important things I have done is the painting and the architecture inside the Sistine Chapel and I painted it single handed on my own, but Sistine chapel is very important because throughout the chapel nearly every story from the bible is painted inside and it's all because of me.**
