Facts About My Inventions And My Art

Levers and Gears:

I recognized that when levers and gears were applied together properly, they could accomplish amazing things. Gears and Levers were used in almost all of my inventions from cranes, to helicopters, to the automatic turnspit.

Defense Contractor:

I hated war, but since Renaissance Italy was filled with war, I could not avoid it. I designed many weapons including missiles, multi-barreled machine guns, grenades, mortars, and even a modern-styled tank.

I also planned an underwater breathing device, however, I didn't expose it because I was afraid that men would use it for evil during the war.

The Last Supper:

The last supper is one of my best known pieces. My mural began to deteriorate due to my experimental technique.

**the last supper was repainted twice after Da Vinci's death.**
