Happy birthday Leonardo da Vinci
Today, we celebrate the birthday of the great Leonardo da Vinci, born on April 15, 1452. Leonardo was an Italian artist, scientist, inventor, and philosopher, whose legacy still resonates with us today.
He is best known for his famous paintings such as the Mona Lisa and The Last Supper, but his contribution to the fields of engineering, anatomy, and mathematics are equally remarkable. In addition to these many talents, Leonardo was also an accomplished musician. He could play several instruments, including the lyre and the flute, and he was known for his beautiful singing voice.
Leonardo's legacy is one of innovation, creativity, and a relentless pursuit of excellence. Happy birthday, Leonardo da Vinci, and thank you for inspiring us to dream big!
Leonardo da Vinci is one of the artists who inspired our Art Squared collection here at Kite. Check out our Mona Lisa inspired print here.
