Leonardo spent his childhood with his grandfather Antonio in the Anchiano countryside, near Vinci. He was taken away from his mother Caterina, a woman of a very peculiar origin. He freely explored the natural environment surrounding him and soon discovered the myriad of living creatures that he admired and learned to love. When he turned 17, his father took him to Florence, the main artistic and humanistic center of Italy.

Young Leonardo is not accepted in the Platonic Academy because he is considered to be an "illiterate man", a disqualification he rejected, insisting that nature was his only master. He is accused of sodomy although he was later declared innocent. This episode deepened his inclination for a solitary life dedicated entirely to research and invention. He surpasses his master Verrocchio in the art of painting. He creates three paintings inspired by religious subjects.
