Here are some facts about Michelangelo.  Michelangelo was an Italian sculptor, painter, architect, poet, and an engineer.  He was born on March 6, 1475 and died on February 18, 1564.  That means he lived to be 88 years.  Michelangelo was the first Western artist whose biography was published while he was alive.  Two biographys were published of him during his lifetime.  At the time of his birth, Michelangelo's father was a Judicial administer of a small town.  I think Michelangelo is a very interesting person.  Here is a picture of him.

Two of Leo's paintings are The Mona Lisa and The Last Supper.  Those paintings are some of the most famous paintings in the world.  Leo also had a keen eye to scientific discoveries yet, he never published his ideas.  Leonardo was also a vegitarian and he loved animals.  He also wanted to be very acurate with his paintings.  Leo hated the war yet, he built military equitment.  Leonardo took 10 years to paint Mona Lisa's lips.  He also liked to write words backwards.  When you read his journal, all his work is backwards. 
Here is a picture of him.
