One thing I thing most people didn't know about Leonardo is that he very rarely liked to do his work while sitting down. 

This artist mostly worked with anything and everything. There was not something Leonardo wouldn't try.

Leonardo is associated with the renaissance period of time.

This artist's most famous works include: 

1. Mona Lsa
2. The Last Supper
3. Virgin of the Rocks

2 Pieces by this artist that I like are: 

1. Mona Lisa: A women with a shy smile or like she is trying to keep a secret
2. The Last Supper:  A mural located in Santa Maria Della Grazie, a church in Milan. Depicts a scene from the Gospel of John.
