My Favourite Painter — Мой любимый художник

One of my favorite painters is Leonardo da Vinci. Everyone agrees this painter was one of the most brilliant painters. Apparently, his picture «The Last Supper» is the most known painting in the world.

In addition, he was a great inventor. Leonardo invented the military tank, the wheelbarrow, and roller bearings. Plans for dozens of machines and weapons were made by him.

He also experimented with submarine and airplane models. Besides, Leonardo was great as an engineer and scientist. He was also a musician, a poet, and a sculptor. Undoubtedly, Leonardo da Vinci can justly be called a genius.

The artist was born in Vinci, the village in Italy. Being a child, he lived with the father’s parents. When his father understood that Leonardo was keen in painting, he decided to send the boy to an excellent teacher and painter. One day Leonardo painted a wonderful angel in his teacher’s picture. «You are greater than me», noticed the teacher.

When

Leonardo was 25 years old, he started to paint independently, first in Florence, Milan and Venice, and then — in France.

His famous picture «The Last Supper» is situated on the wall of the chapel in Milan. One of the famous Leonardo’s paintings is «Mona Liza». This picture represents a woman with an intriguing smile. Now it represents one of the most wonderful treasures in the Louvre.

Leonardo’s pictures are so beautiful that they are like a beautiful music, hard to describe. The faces of the people on his pictures are full of expression. Leonardo used effects on light and shade in the new way, making people look very lifelike.

Один из моих любимых художников — Леонардо да Винчи. Никто не поспорит с тем, что он является одним из самых блестящих художников. Вероятно, его картина «Тайная вечеря» является самой известной в мире.

Кроме этого, он был великим

изобретателем. Он изобрел военный танк, ручную тележку и роликовые подшипники. Многие виды оружия и механизмов были спроектированы им.

Он проводил эксперименты над моделями подводных лодок и аэропланов. А также Леонардо был великим конструктором и ученым. Он был музыкантом, поэтом и скульптором. Несомненно, Леонардо да Винчи можно назвать гением.

Родился Леонардо в селе Винчи в Италии. Будучи ребенком, он жил с родителями отца. Когда его отец понял, что Леонардо интересуется рисованием, он решил отправить мальчика к замечательному учителю и художнику. Однажды Леонардо нарисовал на картине своего учителя прекрасного ангела. «Ты более великий, чем я» — сказал учитель.

Когда Леонардо было 25, он стал рисовать самостоятельно, сначала во Флоренции, в Милане и Венеции, затем — во Франции.

Его знаменитая картина «Тайная вечеря» находится на стене часовни в г. Милан. Одно из известных полотен Леонардо — «Мона Лиза». Эта картина изображает портрет женщины с необычной улыбкой на лице. Теперь эта картина является одним из самых великолепных сокровищ Лувра.

Картины Леонардо настолько красивы, что они так же, как и любая прекрасная музыка, трудно поддаются описанию. Лица людей на картинах выглядят очень выразительно. Леонардо по-новому использовал эффекты света и тени, сделав своих персонажей более естественными.
