Things You Might Not Know About Leonardo da Vinci

He was an illegitimate child


Leonardo was the son of Caterina, a peasant, and Sir Piero, a
lawyer and landlord. He lived with his mother until he was five, then
he was taken by his father. He was homeschooled and lacked
formal education.

 He was the first one to answer why the sky is blue
Da Vinci was the first person who explained why the sky is blue. If
you don’t know – it is because of the way that the air scatters light
from the sun.

He was a great (sometimes dreamy) designer


Leonardo designed an armored car, a scythed chariot, a pile driver,
a revolving crane, a pulley, a lagoon dredge, a flying
ship, concentrated solar power, an adding machine, and the double
hull, also outlining a rudimentary theory of plate tectonics.
He loved music Leonardo, when first presented to the Milanese
court, was a musician, not an artist or inventor. He played the lyre
and composed music by himself.
