Leonardo da Vinci was born April 15th 1452 he grew up in the home of his father. In 1462 Leonardo and his father moved their residence from vinci to Florence. In Florence Leonardo apprenticed under Andrea del Verrocchio were he was trained as a sculptor and painter. In the year 1483 Leonardo moved his residence from Florence to Milan. In 1499 a French invasion forced Leonardo to leave Milan and move back to Florence. In his later years he resided mostly in Milan until moving to France as an artistic advisor to a French governor. In 1517 king Francis I invited Leonardo to live in the castle of Cloux for his remaining years and he died May 2nd 1519.   

Leonardo de Vinci was most remembered for his artwork mainly his paintings.   

 I belive Leonardo da Vinci’s senior superlative would be most likely to succeed in the arts. 

I believe Ted Nugent would be good to play Leonardo da Vinci in a movie because Ted Nugent because he is philosophical.
