Foreword
His genius, perhaps more than that of any other figure, epitomized the Renaissance humanist ideal. Leonardo has often been described as the archetype of the Renaissance Titan, a man of unquenchable curiosity
and feverishly inventive imagination
. He is widely considered to be one of the greatest painters of all time and perhaps the most diversely talented person ever to have lived. He was born on, Saturday April 15, 1452 at three o'clock in the night
. We know this to be correct as the quote is from notes written by Leonardo's grandfather. Leonardo's birthplace was the small village of Vinci located between the Tuscan cities of Pistoia and Empoli. He was the illegitimate son of notary, Ser Piero d'Antonio and a peasant woman named Caterina. Little is known of her, but she probably came from the village of Anchiano and may have been a barmaid. It is almost definite that she had contact with her son throughout her life.
After the baby's birth Ser Piero was quickly convinced to marry into a wealthy family while Caterina was married off to a cowherd. Initially, Leonardo lived with his grandparents on his father's side. After some years had passed Ser Piero realized that his wife could not have children; at this time Leonardo was taken to be raised and educated in his father's house.
Some authors have Leonardo as spending the first five years of his childhood living with his mother, or bearing the brunt of much misery from later arriving legitimate half-brothers. However, his grandfather's notes also show us that the child was baptized and accepted into his father's side of the family immediately. It is known that he could not have been the object of teasing from half-brothers as it was not until Ser Piero's third wife that there were to be any legitimate sons; by this time Leonardo was 24. During that period in history illegitimate and legitimate children were bought up together, even in the most noble of homes. Wives would not register any protest over this and there was no stigma attached.
Even as a young child Leonardo showed extraordinary talent, being quick at music and learning to play the lyre; he could also
