In 1473 when Da Vinci was in his early twentys he came out with one of his first paintings call the "Annuction" this is when his carrier started to take off. Soon after he was tought by Verrocchio's studios and became a "Prfessional" artist.  Da Vinci was know not to finish he art, which was a bad habbit because he was very talented, and good at making the feel of a human body in his paintings.

One of his most famous pieces was mad in 1503 he painted the "Mona lisa", which is also known as "A woman with brown hair and a silk scarf, sitting down". The painting is of The Virgin Marry, and it was designed so that no matter where you stand it appiers that the woman is starring at you.

POEM: Over lapping hands,
             eyes locked on a glance,
             sitting so stiff,
             your skin is a gift, that looks like a soft tan bliss.
