Leonardo da Vinci Paintings and Drawings Collection istanbul sanat evi

His full name is Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci, who comes to the meaning of "Leonardo of the Vinci master Piero". He signed his works as "Leonardo" or "Io, Leonardo (Leonardo)". In particular, the use of "Da Vinci", popularized by Dan Brown's popular novel Da Vinci Code, is wrong.

Although there is no tangible evidence, it is estimated that Leonardo's mother, Caterina's father, is a Middle Eastern slave belonging to Piero.
