Leonardo de Vinci was an amazing artist. He developed a new way of incorporating perspective into painting. His paintings had a life-like quality, he was able to this by his unique use of light.

His master, Verrocchio actually never painted again, because he felt if his student was better then him then he should move on. He went on to be an accomplished sculptor.

In one of the five paintings made in Florence, Ginevra de’ Benci, he showed that he could paint with angelic freedom and responsibility, daring to do things that were virtually impossible.” (Payne, 1978) As we regularly hear from many art historic sources, this particular portrait of Ginerva was so real, that is seemed as it is not a painting but Ginerva herself.…
