Happy Birthday Leonardo!

Considered one of the greatest artists of all time, Leonardo was born on this day in 1452. Painter, sculptor, architect, designer, theorist, engineer and scientist, he created some of the most famous images in European art. Though many of his works were never finished, and even fewer have survived, he influenced generations of artists and he continues to be revered as a universal genius. ‘The Virgin of the Rocks’ is one of the most loved paintings here at the National Gallery: https://bit.ly/2absTqB
