Leonardo Da Vinci1996

While working as an apprentice under Andrea del Verrocchio, Leonardo learns about color, shading, sculpturing, panel painting, and painting of altarpieces.

Self-discipline is the key to success in Verrochio's opinion. In 1498, Leonardo is under the service of the Duke and Duchess of Milan.

He is commissioned to sculpt a statue of the Duke's father and paint "The Last Supper" for the monks in their dining hall.

The Duchess of Milan asks Leonardo to produce a play about stars, planets, and space.

He is obviously not excited about the project because of the time it will take away from his masterpieces. During the play, Leonardo sees a young boy, Salai; steal some money from the stagehands.

Salai tells Leonardo that he is homeless and hopes to become an artist like Leonardo some day...
