Introductrion:
Leonardo da Vinci was a popular painter.
He was born in 1452 in Vinci, Italy.
He painted the "Mona Lisa", "the last Supper" and the "Virgin of the Rocks" it´s tree of his many pictures.
Leonardo´s full name is Leonardo di Ser Piero da Vinci.​
Early life:
Leonardo da Vinci had a dad, who was a lawyer, and a mother, who was a farmer girl. He also had eight brothers,  Bartolomeo da Vinci, Giovanni Ser Piero, Guglielmo Ser Piero, Pandolfo Ser Piero, Giuliomo Ser Piero, Magdalena Ser Piero, Domenico Ser Piero, Bernedetto Ser Piero, Lorenzo Ser Piero and Antonio Ser Piero, and two sisters, Violante Ser Piero and Margherita Ser Piero.
He´s hometown is in Anchiano, and he grew up in the Renaissance period. So it was a lot of art, big buildings and churches. It was also a lot of possibilities, like schools and for example art classes.
Childhood:
The first 5 years he lived in Anchiano close to Vinci. When he was 14 years old he´s dad wanted him to go on an artist school so he started at one of the most successful artist, Andrea del Verrocchio. Leonardo had a good childhood with his 12 siblings.
Adulthood:
Leonardo da Vinci never married and he never got child's. He lived at his father's house with his grandparents, uncle and father. He lived in different places like Vinci in Italy, Florence in Italy and in Milan, but he did not stay in Milan for a long time because of his father's death, in 1504. He did not have any further education, but he had a lot of jobs. For example he's first job was to paint the head of Medusa, and one of his biggest job was the decoration of the Sistine Chapel.
Becoming famous:
Leonardo was special because he was so talented in so many things, including inventions and art.
He travelled average for a man in his age.
He is remembered as the biggest universal genius who have ever lived, and he is the whole definition of the human of Renaissance. So he did effect people in an artistic way, by inspire them and other artists, despite the fact that he had classic signs to ADHD and easily got distracted, it affected him because he often failed to finish projects, and he also changed from one activity to an another, but he got a lot of inspiration and he had a lot of energy. And one of the most important event was when he got accepted into the painters' guild of Florence, 1472
He started to become famous when he went to Andrea del Verrocchio`s very interesting art school. They became interested in his work when he was a partner with Verrocchio, in 1476. 
And when he moved to Milan, Leonardo took on many projects. One of those was one of his most famous, The Last Supper, 1498.
The most difficult times for him was when he failed completing his work, because of his ADHD. But the positive side of it was that he became very creative. 
He did not get any price for what he did during in his life. Despite that he became very famous after his death.
Later life:
Leonardo died in France, 1519, May 2nd. His life in this time was good, and since he was the universal biggest genius and he is called the human of Renaissance, he is a great role model for many. He make many sculptures and many paintings, it is the paintings he are mostly remember for today.    
Summary:
All in all he is remembered as the biggest universal genius who have ever lived, and he is the hole definition of the human of Renaissance. 
I feel that Leonardo da Vinci was very creative and he did do a great job and he did inspired many people, and it would be worse if the person hadn´t lived because he really inspired people with his work and started the artistic period again. One of the most important things he did was all of his inventions and when he examined human bodies.
