Ariane - Leonardo Da Vinci


Leonardo da Vinci was born in 1452 in a little city nearby Florence called Vinci. That´s why he is called  "Da Vinci". Leonardo died in 1519 in France. He was a very famous painter, architect, scientist and inventor during the golden age of the Renaissance.



His fame grew well beyond the boundaries of  his homeland. Leonardo was fascinated by birds. He wanted to be the first human being to fly. So he tried to build a flying machine. He was inspired by nature.

Looking at Leonardo´s plans of the flying machine one realizes that the similarities with the wings of a bat are astonishingly great.
