Leonardo's Mechanical Gift for the King of France

Leonardo da Vinci was born in Italy. He drew inspiration for his dragon from lizards, bats and creepy crawlies. His portraits feel very real because he studied how the muscles move in people's faces and hands. Even though he was easily distracted, he was also a perfectionist. And so that brings us to the end of Leonardo's life. So now it's time for the quiz. Are you ready? Okay, here we go. If you didn't get all five, that's okay. Why not listen to a different episode from series one or two on BBC Sounds?
