In this episode of the History in Motion Podcast, we embark on an extraordinary journey into the early life of Leonardo da Vinci, a man whose genius defined the Renaissance. Born in the small town of Vinci, Leonardo's illegitimacy granted him the freedom to explore his passions, laying the foundation for his revolutionary contributions to art, science, and engineering.
We'll delve into Leonardo's formative years, where his insatiable curiosity and apprenticeships in Florence shaped his path. We'll explore his early works, including his contributions to Verrocchio's workshop and his first independent commissions, which reveal the young artist's burgeoning talent and unique approach to capturing the world around him.
On his personal side, he's a man known for his warmth, humour, and unconventional lifestyle, who defied societal norms to focus on his passions. As we unravel the early life of this quintessential Renaissance man, we'll set the stage for his later years in Milan, where he would continue to push the boundaries of what art and science could achieve.
