A great Italian painter, one of the greatest artists of the world; born at the castle of Vinci in Tuscany, 1452; died in France, May 2, 1519, at the court of Francis I. He lived at Florence; but, brought by an invitation from Ludovico il Moro about 1489 to settle in Milan, he there painted his famous "Last Supper". His portrait, painted by himself, is in the Royal Library, Turin. A "Treatise on Painting"; and his various works on the art of perspective and on the laws of architecture and mathematics are well known. A series of over two hundred drawings of his now belonging to the Royal Academy in London, illustrates in detail the anatomy of the human body.
