Facts are there to be understood !! An experience of da Vinci 's biography is better !Someone wrote in a biography of Leonardo: ‘little is known about the life of da Vinci'. However, what does it mean: to know this genius man? When do we know someone? This is still an open question for me. I still study him by reading his many notebooks, books written by others,by observing his drawings and paintings, by understanding his quote’s and thoughts. Quote of Leonardo: “Ink which because of its blackness has been scorned by white paper, and paper which finds that
it becomes soiled by ink"
Paper complained that it became dirty by the black ink. Ink showed to that the words that he formed on paper, made that paper could speak.
During the time I ask myself the question: what is an excellent biography? One thing I know: it must be fun, a kind of experience, and maybe life-changing adventure !!! Why? Because Leonardo had a MESSAGE, which is still valid in our present modern world. Therefore, the theme of learning him is : EXPERIENCE !!

Date of birth : 15 April 1452
Place of birth: Vinci, Italy (region authentic Tuscany) Horoscope: Aries small note: to understand someone's horoscope study your own A couple of years ago I visited the surrounding of Vinci for the first time. All over again another part of Tuscany impressed me. The serene sphere, the great variety of green colours, the silence and friendly people (if they are there) makes me feel “home”. The nature moved me to a mood of peace whereby I took naturally the time to rethink my life and to be gratefully. Now, I can really well understand why Leonardo as a young boy many times departed the small village to go to the nature and asking himself question about what he observed. The beautiful nature of Tuscany desires this to do !! Did you see the painting ‘Baptism of Christ' (Florence ’s museum Uffizi) made in the workshop of Verrocchio? Observe carefully the landscape. You can sense a broad nature waiting to be explored and discovered. This is what Leonardo had scouted and observed for years in the surrounding of his village of birth Vinci. Thanks to his skills of observation he developed a finer way to paint it.
