One of his most famous paintings is the Mona Lisa. People 4 the mysterious smile of the woman in the painting. Another masterpiece, The Last Supper, shows a very important scene from the Bible. These paintings are still studied and admired today.
Leonardo wrote his notes backwards in mirror writing. Some people think he did this to keep his ideas 5 . Others believe it was just easier for him as a left-handed person. Whatever the reason, his notebooks contain thousands of drawings and ideas that were far ahead of his time.
