These are the four Renaissance artists that the teenage mutant ninja turtles were named after.
Leonardo (Da Vinci)
Da Vinci was an Italian Renaissance polymath: painter, sculptor, architect, musician, scientist, mathematician, engineer, inventor, anatomist, geologist, cartographer, botanist, and writer. His most famous painting is the Mona Lisa. Others include The Last Supper, Lady with an Ermine and his anatomy sketches.
**He was an Italian Renaissance sculptor, painter, architect, poet, and engineer. Michelangelo was considered the greatest living artist in his lifetime, and ever since then he has been held to be one of the greatest artists of all time. His most famous painting is the Sistine Chapel Ceiling. He also created sculptures such as David.
Donatello, was an early Renaissance Italian painter and sculptor from Florence. He is, in part, known for his work in bas-relief, a form of shallow relief sculpture.
**He was an Italian painter and architect. Many of his works are found in the Apostolic Palace of The Vatican, where the frescoed Raphael Rooms were the central, and the largest, work of his career. He also designed the Chigi Chapel. His father was Santi, another famous artist.
I wasn’t talking about the cartoon. Just thought it was cool how they named the cartoon characters after arguably the best artists of all time. Hence why I started a thread on those artists.
