Leonardo da Vinci

Read a short story of an artist who created some of the most famous artworks in history.

1.1

Leonardo da Vinci was a famous artist and inventor. He was born on April 15, 1452, in Vinci, Italy. Leonardo was very curious and smart from a young age. He loved to learn about the world.

كان ليوناردو دا فينشي فنانًا ومخترعًا مشهورًا. ولد في 15 أبريل 1452 في فينشي بإيطاليا. كان ليوناردو فضوليًا وذكيًا منذ صغره. كان يحب التعرف على العالم.

1.2

Leonardo moved to Florence when he was a teenager. There, he learned how to paint and draw. He became a very good artist. People noticed his talent and he got many jobs that were painting pictures.

انتقل ليوناردو إلى فلورنسا عندما كان مراهقًا. هناك، تعلم كيفية الرسم والتصوير. أصبح فنانًا جيدًا جدًا. لاحظ الناس موهبته وحصل على العديد من الوظائف التي كانت تتضمن رسم الصور.

1.3

One of Leonardo's most famous paintings is the "Mona Lisa." Another famous work is "The Last Supper." These paintings are very famous around the world. People love them because they are so beautiful.

واحدة من أشهر لوحات ليوناردو هي "الموناليزا". عمل مشهور آخر هو "العشاء الأخير". هذه اللوحات مشهورة جدًا في جميع أنحاء العالم. يحبها الناس لأنها جميلة جدًا.

1.4

Leonardo loved painting but he was also interested in how things work. He studied the human body, animals, and nature. He made many drawings of what he learned. His notebooks are full of these drawings.

كان ليوناردو يحب الرسم لكنه كان مهتمًا أيضًا بكيفية عمل الأشياء. درس جسم الإنسان والحيوانات والطبيعة. قام بعمل العديد من الرسومات لما تعلمه. دفاتره مليئة بهذه الرسومات.

1.5

Leonardo also liked to invent things. He drew designs for machines like helicopters and bicycles long time before they were really made. He never built his inventions, but his ideas were very advanced for his time.

كان ليوناردو أيضًا يحب اختراع الأشياء. لقد رسم تصاميم لآلات مثل الطائرات المروحية والدراجات قبل وقت طويل من صنعها بالفعل. لم يقم أبدًا ببناء اختراعاته، لكن أفكاره كانت متقدمة جدًا بالنسبة لعصره.

1.6

Leonardo spent his last years in France. The king of France invited him there. The king really liked Leonardo's works. Leonardo died on May 2, 1519, in Amboise, France. He was 67 years old.

قضى ليوناردو سنواته الأخيرة في فرنسا. دعاه ملك فرنسا إلى هناك. أعجب الملك حقًا بأعمال ليوناردو. توفي ليوناردو في 2 مايو 1519 في أمبواز ، فرنسا. كان عمره 67 سنة.

1.7

Fun fact: Leonardo da Vinci could write with one hand and draw with the other hand at the same time. This is very hard to do. This skill shows how talented and special he was.

حقيقة ممتعة: كان ليوناردو دا فينشي قادرًا على الكتابة بيد واحدة والرسم باليد الأخرى في نفس الوقت. من الصعب جدًا القيام بذلك. تُظهر هذه المهارة مدى موهبته وتميزه.
