Verrochio, in Florence, who was an artist, skilled craftsmen, goldsmith, sculptor and painter. He
started to use his science to enhance his paintings. He studied and sketched rock formations,
caves and fossils. He had very few close friends during his life, even though he was very kind
and sympathetic. Later, during his apprenticeship, he started to find his niche at inventing
