Leonardo Da Vinci really first became an artist in the year 1469. Leonardo worked in the workshop of Verocchio, but was quickly a better artist then him. In his eraly twenties, Leonardo was already incredibly famous.
The Mona Lisa was Da Vinci's most famous paintings and might even be the most famout painting in the world. It was painted on poplar wood in the 16th Century. On August 21st 1911 the Mona Lisa was stolen. It was stolen on a Monda, but nobody noticed it was gone until noon the next day.
Some people who have studied the Mona Lisa for a very long time, actually saw a resemblance between Mona Lisa and Leonardo Da Vinci. Some say it is actually a self portrait of himself. It will never be known for sure.
To this day, The Mona Lisa has a room of its own in the Louvre and will most likely never be stolen again.

William Shakespeare was one of the world's greatest playwrite and one of the best English poets. His plays are still acted out today and they are still actually influencing society today. His plays and poems made impacts on many peoples lives.
A Midsummer Night's Dream was an early romantic comedy written by William Shakespeare. It was written in the late 1500s. It involves four Athenian lovers and their interactions with fairies who live there. Even today this play is still performed worldwide and is still very popular.

The Tragedy of Macbeth is one of Shakespeare's most famous plays. It is also his shortest tragedy. To this day it's performed at professional and community theatres around the world. It was written somewhere between 1603 and 1606. In the play the role of Lady Macbeth is considered one of the hardest roles to fill because of her intensity.
The Tempest was a comedy that at the time it was written, did not attract alot of attention. It actually did not get praise until the twentieth century. Even though it took so long to be praised, it is now considered one of Shakespeare's greatest works.

Michelangelo was one of the best artists of his time, and still is to this day one of the best artists ever. He has many famous pieces and many that are known throughout the world. The Conversion of Saul, which is the most well known of the Pauline themes, shows Paul being thrown to the ground and shows him being blinded from a light from Heaven. In this painting, Michelangelo was showing God reaching down and finding Paul and converting him to Christianity. Paul was traveling to Damascus when God shined his light upon him. This painting was obviously the conversion of St. Paul, but it can touch all that look at it.

The Pursuit of Happyness was a movie that really stuck in my head. It taught me the meaning of happiness, and what it takes to be happy. Will Smith portayed a man desperate for money to provide a better life for his son. Jaden Smith played the role of Will Smith's son in the movie. This might have come easy to him because he is Will Smith's actual son. He filled the part perfectly and gave an absolutely stunning performance. Will Smith is trying to strike it rich through the stock brokerage business. The movie shows all of the ups and downs of his life throughout this journey, but in the end the movie ends in happiness!
