Everything about Clos Luc totally explained
Clos Lucé is a mansion in
Amboise,
France, located 500 metres from the Royal
Château d'Amboise, to which it's connected by an underground passageway. Built by
Étienne le Loup in the middle of the
15th century, it was acquired in
1490 by King
Charles VIII of France for his wife,
Anne de Bretagne. Later, it was used by
King François I, as well his sister,
Marguerite de Navarre who began to write her book titled
L'Heptaméron while living there.
In
1516, King François I invited
Leonardo da Vinci to Amboise and provided him with the Clos Lucé as a place to stay and to work. Leonardo, a famous painter and inventor, arrived with three samples of his painting, namely the
Mona Lisa,
Sainte Anne, and
Saint Jean Baptiste. Leonardo lived at the Clos Lucé for the last three years of his life until his death inside it on
May 2,
1519.
Today, the Clos Lucé mansion is a
museum that reflects the prestigious history of the region and includes forty models of the various machines designed by Leonardo.
