his works are known because of his constant experimentation with new techniques.

7. He began his studies in anatomy while he was learning with AndreaVerrocchio.
Soon he performed numerous studies on muscles, tendons and other anatomical
features.
Working conditions were particularly bad in that century.They gave him
permission to dissect human bodies in Florence and later in Rome, he also
collaborated with the doctor Marcantonio DellaTorre.
He did many drawings of human anatomy. His drawings contain inaccuracies. He
made one of the first drawings of a fetus in an uterus. He also drew numerous
models with significant visible signs of disease, we don’t know why. He also
studied the anatomy of many animals.
8. Leonardo never published the contents of their manuscripts, that remained unpublished
until the 19th century.
For over 300 years they remained hidden in a leather book. Leonardo left his books and
drawings to his young assistant Francesco Melzi.
Francesco, didn’t publish them because his teacher told him to keep them and continue
investigating on his own, the young man heeded him, and kept them until his death. Later,
these manuscripts were left as an inheritance to one of the sons of Melzi, that didn’t know
their value and left them hidden. He did not know the value but he knew that they were
important to his father so he conserved them.
If Francesco had shown them, they would have transformed European knowledge of
human anatomy, experts say.

against him accusing of pederasty. His guards helped him not to go to the tribunals.
Leonardo died unmarried and without children.
