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.

لئوناردو داوینچی یک هنرمند و مخترع مشهور بود. او در 15 آوریل 1452 در وینچی، ایتالیا به دنیا آمد. لئوناردو از سنین پایین بسیار کنجکاو و باهوش بود. او عاشق یادگیری درباره جهان بود.

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.

لئوناردو زمانی که نوجوان بود به فلورانس نقل مکان کرد. در آنجا، او یاد گرفت چگونه نقاشی و طراحی کند. او هنرمند بسیار خوبی شد. مردم استعداد او را متوجه شدند و او شغل های زیادی که نقاشی کردن بود به دست آورد.

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.

یکی از معروف‌ترین نقاشی‌های لئوناردو "مونالیزا" است. اثر معروف دیگر "شام آخر" است. این نقاشی‌ها در سراسر جهان بسیار معروف هستند. مردم آنها را دوست دارند زیرا بسیار زیبا هستند.

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.

لئوناردو عاشق نقاشی بود اما به چگونگی کارکرد چیزها نیز علاقه داشت. او بدن انسان، حیوانات و طبیعت را مطالعه کرد. او طراحی‌های بسیاری از آنچه یاد گرفته بود انجام داد. دفترچه‌های او پر از این طراحی‌هاست.

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.

لئوناردو همچنین دوست داشت چیزهایی اختراع کند. او طرح‌هایی برای ماشین‌هایی مانند هلیکوپترها و دوچرخه‌ها کشید، خیلی قبل از اینکه واقعاً ساخته شوند. او هرگز اختراعاتش را نساخت، اما ایده‌هایش برای زمان خود بسیار پیشرفته بودند.

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.

لئوناردو سالهای آخر عمر خود را در فرانسه گذراند. پادشاه فرانسه او را به آنجا دعوت کرد. پادشاه واقعاً از آثار لئوناردو خوشش میآمد. لئوناردو در 2 مه 1519 در آمبواز، فرانسه درگذشت. او 67 سال داشت.

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.

حقیقت جالب: لئوناردو داوینچی می‌توانست با یک دست بنویسد و با دست دیگر همزمان نقاشی کند. انجام این کار بسیار دشوار است. این مهارت نشان می‌دهد که او چقدر با استعداد و خاص بود.
