He's one of the world's most famous artists, who, during his lifetime created the Mona Lisa and The Last Supper alongside countless others.
To this day, Leonardo da Vinci is considered to be one of the greatest and most influential artists of all time.
Collections of his work are scattered all over the globe so are quite hard to come by. Usually, the nearest to Mancunians are The National Gallery and British Museum, both in London.
However, for the past few months there has been an exhibition of Leonardo da Vinci at Manchester Art Gallery.
The exhibition has been at the gallery since February 1 but it will be leaving on May 6 so if you want to get down you'll need to be quick.
At the exhibition you will be able to see a display of 12 of the Renaissance master's greatest drawings - and it won't cost you a penny.
It is one of 12 simultaneous exhibitions, each displaying 12 drawings, in Belfast, Birmingham, Bristol, Cardiff, Derby, Glasgow, Leeds, Liverpool, Manchester, Sheffield, Southampton and Sunderland, to commemorate the 500th anniversary of da Vinci's death.
The selection at Manchester Art Gallery's exhibition - Leonardo da Vinci: A Life in Drawing - focuses on the body and demonstrates da Vinci’s use of drawing to gain an unrivalled understanding of human anatomy.
The exhibition includes anatomical studies, caricatures, idealised male and female bodies, drapery, figures in action and studies of an infant and foetus.
From May 24, all 12 exhibitions will be brought together to form part of a major show at The Queen’s Gallery, Buckingham Palace - the largest exhibition of Leonardo's work in over 65 years.

Martin Clayton, Head of Prints and Drawings at the Royal Collection Trust, said: "The drawings of Leonardo da Vinci are a national treasure, both incredibly beautiful and the main source of our knowledge of the artist.
"We hope that as many people as possible across the UK will take this unique opportunity to see these extraordinary works, which allow us to enter one of the greatest minds in history, and to understand the man and his achievements."
