Early Life and Apprenticeship
Leonardo was born on April 15, 1452, the son of a notary, Ser Piero, and a peasant woman named Caterina. Because he was born out of wedlock, Leonardo did not receive a classical university education, but this may have been a blessing in disguise. Free from rigid academic traditions, he pursued knowledge through observation, experimentation, and drawing.
