BR 1-10: Leonardo da Vinci

          This book is about the life of Leonardo da Vinci. His uncle, Francesco recommended him to the way to artists. As they grow, his talent was opened gradually. He liked drawing, inventing and thinking many things. When the plague spread in Italy, he considered, how can the bad disease end. He thought not only sketching, his view was wide. His famous works are "The Last Supper", "Mona Lisa" and so on. I thought "Mona Lisa" is not exist, so I didn't know she was merchant's wife. Leonardo's paintings are mysterious. I know he used egg-or-oil based paints, it made many paintings more softly. If you haven't read this book, you can try it once!
