Leonardo da Vinci (1452–1519) is one of the most intriguing personalities in the history of Western art. Trained in Florence as a painter and sculptor in the workshop of Andrea del Verrocchio (1435–1488), Leonardo is also celebrated for his scientific contributions. His curiosity and insatiable hunger for knowledge never left him. He was constantly observing, experimenting, and inventing, and drawing was, for him, a tool for recording his investigation of nature. Although completed works by Leonardo are few, he left a large body of drawings (almost 2,500) that record his ideas, most still gathered into notebooks. He was principally active in Florence (1472–ca. 1482, 1500–1508) and Milan (ca. 1482–99, 1508–13), but spent the last years of his life in Rome (1513–16) and France (1516/17–1519), where he died. His genius as an artist and inventor continues to inspire artists and scientists alike centuries after his death .

Number 25 on my Queer Icons Pride Project is Leonardo da Vinci Born 1452 in the Republic of Florence Leonardo was an Italian polymath of the High Renaissance who was active as a painter, draughtsman, engineer, scientist, theorist, sculptor, and architect. While his fame initially rested on his achievements as a painter, he also became known for his notebooks, in which he made drawings and notes on a variety of subjects, including anatomy, astronomy, botany, cartography, painting, and paleontology. Leonardo is identified as one of the greatest painters in the history of art and is often credited as the founder of the High Renaissance. The Mona Lisa, is his best known work and often regarded as the world's most famous painting. The Last Supper is the most reproduced religious painting of all time and his Vitruvian Man drawing is also regarded as a cultural icon. In 2017, Salvator Mundi, attributed in whole or part to Leonardo, was sold at auction for US$450.3 million, setting a new record for the most expensive painting ever sold at public auction. Much of Leonardo's personal and private life remain hidden, but what evidence there is, states his most intimate relationships were perhaps with his pupils Salaì and Melzi. Melzi, writing to inform Leonardo's brothers of his death, described Leonardo's feelings for his pupils as both loving and passionate. It has been claimed since the 16th century that these relationships were of a sexual or erotic nature. Court records of 1476, when he was aged twenty-four, show that Leonardo and three other young men were charged with sodomy in an incident involving a well-known male prostitute.  Leonardo has inspired me as an artist since I first began taking art seriously. His work really is frustratingly exceptional, from his thin layering to his experimentation with materials. I often wonder what he would've accomplished had he been given another lifetime. @leonardo_davinci_ #leonardodavinci #davinci #reinassance #painter #italy #florence #lgbt #pride2022 #prideproject #queerartist #gayillustration #monalisa #vitruvianman #scupltor #art #artist #drawing #pencildrawing #prismacolor #portrait (at Turlock, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfOkxrvrDIq/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
