Leonardo da Vinci Part 1: The Kid and the Cave.

It's finally Akiva's turn to host a series with our oldest biography yet: that of revered painter and inventor, Leonardo da Vinci. After we explore da Vinci’s complicated childhood and education, we set the scene for Leonardo's new home of Florence, Italy -- a city of paint, gold, and blood. After da Vinci is accepted as a student under the legendary painting instructor, Andrea del Verrocchio, we also learn how young Leonardo becomes fascinated with geometry, architecture, fashion, science, and all forms of art, unknowingly securing his place as one of the most respected and popular figures of the Renaissance era.
