This month’s featured artist is Leonardo da Vinci. Although he is often referred to as “Da Vinci,” he is more properly called “Leonardo.” This is because da Vinci refers to the city where he was born. Leonardo did not have a last name. We’ve curated some online resources to help you study Leonardo this week.
Here are some links to Leonardo-related websites that you might find helpful:
