Hello, My name is Leonardo Ser Piero da Vinci was one of the great masters of the Renaissance, famous as a painter, sculptor, architect, engineer, and scientist. His deep love for knowledge and research was the key to his artistic and scientific behavior.
One of the things that made him more famous was the work of the Mona Lisa, the most enigmatic work of Leonardo da Vinci.The Portrait of Lisa Gherardini exhibited in the Parisian Louvre Museum is one of the most fascinating works of the Italian genius of the Renaissance and, without a doubt, an icon of art history.
It is believed that in 1490, when Leonardo was working in Milan, he brought into his workshop Gian Giacomo Caprotti (1480-1524), a young man of about 10 years of age whom the artist describes in his notebooks as a thief, trickster, obstinate and gluttonous . For this reason, later he began to call him Salaí, the devil.
The Renaissance genius Leonardo Da Vinci was inspired by two models to create the famous portrait of the Gioconda: the Florentine noblewoman Lisa Gherardini and her favorite pupil, Gian Giacomo Caprotti, better known as Salai.
It was in Antonio Pallaiuolo's workshop, which was close to Verrocchio's. After spending six years as an apprentice, Leonardo set up his own workshop in Florence. At this time, he painted his first painting: Virgen del carnation (1476).
