While his fame initially rested on his achievements as a painter, he has also become known for his notebooks, in which he made drawings and notes on a variety of subjects, including anatomy, astronomy, botany, cartography, painting, and palaeontology. Leonardo is widely regarded as a genius who epitomised the Renaissance humanist ideal, and his collective works contributed to the development of European art to an extent rivalled only by that of his younger contemporary Michelangelo.","summary_more":[],"facts":[{"key":"born","label":"Born","values":[{"text":"15 April 1452","date":"1452-04-15"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q762#P569"}},{"key":"birthplace","label":"Place of birth","values":[{"text":"Anchiano","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q154184"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q762#P19"}},{"key":"died","label":"Died","values":[{"text":"2 May 1519","date":"1519-05-02"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q762#P570"}},{"key":"deathplace","label":"Place of death","values":[{"text":"Clos Lucé","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1122731"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q762#P20"}},{"key":"citizenship","label":"Citizenship","values":[{"text":"Republic of Florence","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q148540"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q762#P27"}},{"key":"occupation","label":"Occupation","values":[{"text":"painter","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1028181"},{"text":"engineer","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q81096"},{"text":"astronomer","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q11063"},{"text":"anatomist","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q10872101"},{"text":"mathematician","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q170790"},{"text":"sculptor","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1281618"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q762#P106"}}],"office":null,"sections":[],"cited":[],"cited_from":null,"videos":[],"last_reviewed":null,"organizations":[],"same_as":["https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leonardo_da_Vinci","https://ne.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%A4%B2%E0%A4%BF%E0%A4%AF%E0%A5%8B%E0%A4%A8%E0%A4%BE%E0%A4%B0%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%A6%E0%A5%8B_%E0%A4%A6%E0%A4%BE_%E0%A4%AD%E0%A4%BF%E0%A4%A8%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%9A%E0%A5%80","https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q762"],"faq":[{"q":"When was Leonardo da Vinci born?","a":"Leonardo da Vinci was born on 15 April 1452 in Anchiano."}],"related":[{"name":"Michelangelo","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/michelangelo"},{"name":"Vincent van Gogh","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/vincent-van-gogh"},{"name":"Frida Kahlo","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/frida-kahlo"},{"name":"William Shakespeare","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/william-shakespeare"},{"name":"Rabindranath Tagore","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/rabindranath-tagore"},{"name":"Leo Tolstoy","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/leo-tolstoy"},{"name":"Maya Angelou","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/maya-angelou"},{"name":"Ludwig van Beethoven","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/ludwig-van-beethoven"},{"name":"Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/wolfgang-amadeus-mozart"},{"name":"Gabriel García Márquez","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/gabriel-garcia-marquez"},{"name":"Hayao Miyazaki","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/hayao-miyazaki"},{"name":"Satyajit Ray","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/satyajit-ray"}],"places_in":[],"nearby":[],"image":{"url":"https://diginpl.com/kb-img/leonardo-da-vinci-6d9506f050.jpg","width":500,"height":716,"license":"Public domain","credit":"Attributed to Francesco Melzi","page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Francesco_Melzi_-_Portrait_of_Leonardo_(colour_correction).png"},"sources":[{"label":"Wikipedia (English): Leonardo da Vinci","url":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leonardo_da_Vinci","license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/"},{"label":"Wikipedia (Nepali): लेओनार्दो दा भिञ्ची","url":"https://ne.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%A4%B2%E0%A4%BF%E0%A4%AF%E0%A5%8B%E0%A4%A8%E0%A4%BE%E0%A4%B0%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%A6%E0%A5%8B_%E0%A4%A6%E0%A4%BE_%E0%A4%AD%E0%A4%BF%E0%A4%A8%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%9A%E0%A5%80","license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/"},{"label":"Wikidata item Q762","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q762","license":"https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/"},{"label":"Image: Francesco Melzi - Portrait of Leonardo (colour correction).png by Attributed to Francesco Melzi (Public domain)","url":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Francesco_Melzi_-_Portrait_of_Leonardo_(colour_correction).png","license":null}],"license":{"text":"CC BY-SA 4.0","url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/","facts":"https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/"},"attribution":"Text from the Wikipedia article Leonardo da Vinci, licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0.
