ABOUT THE ARTIST: Leonardo da Vinci was a true genius who graced the world with his extraordinary presence from April 15, 1452, to May 2, 1519. He stands among the most influential figures in history, leaving an enduring legacy not only in art, but also in science, engineering, anatomy, architecture, and invention. For Leonardo, these disciplines were deeply interconnected, with each one inspiring and enriching the others and contributing to his remarkable understanding of the world. Leonardo lived during one of the greatest periods of creativity in human history, the Italian Renaissance, alongside such extraordinary contemporaries as Raphael and Michelangelo. His unique genius touched virtually every field he explored, pushing the boundaries of human knowledge and imagination. No name seems to embody the spirit of the Renaissance more completely than **Leonardo da Vinci**, a man whose curiosity, creativity, and vision continue to inspire the world more than five centuries after his death. ABOUT "AFFRESCO" Any art lover, as well as anyone who has visited Italy, must have had the opportunity to appreciate an affresco painting. Most prominent ancient Roman paintings consist of affresco, as do the holy stories depicted within medieval churches. The magnificent decorations found within the halls of villas dating from the fifth, sixth, and seventh centuries also feature affresco paintings. The affresco painting method is the basis for the most impressive mural works of Italian art and is considered the most widely used artistic technique during the Renaissance by world-renowned artists such as Botticelli, Michelangelo, Raffaello, Signorelli, and Piero della Francesca, among others.
