Proclaimed by the International Association of Art in 2012, the date coincides with Leonardo da Vinci's birthday — April 15th, 1452. Da Vinci's notebooks contain over 13,000 pages of art, anatomy, engineering, and observations. He left 20 completed paintings. The notebooks remain the more extraordinary work.
