Leonardo Daily

Leonardo Da Vinci was one of the greatest artists of his time. Leonardo invented a new way to paint and look at art. He saw different perspective that nobody saw based on Botticelli's perspective of 3D art. Instead of having people that were way bigger than the other people they look similar. He also had different angles that complimented different parts of the body. He had less distortion in his paintings than any artist of his time. Verrocchio who was his mentor put his paintbrush down for the rest of his life when he saw how vivid the "Baptism of Christ" that Leonardo had painted was. If a boy in his teens can make a master artist put his paintbrush down forever he deserves the title master. Leonardo even came up with a backwards code so nobody could see or steal his work. He was one of the great minds of the Renaissance and absolutely deserves the title genius.
