Da Vinci is in the top 3 most popular painters in the world.
Nevertheless in his job application to the duke of Milano, he first mentioned his engineering skills and at the end he wrote that he also can paint...
Therefore he painted only about 20 paintings and 4 portraits. Because he was great experimenter also with his painting so... many of his pieces are in very bad condition today. (For example last supper is repainted every few decades so it is hard to say how many % of it is genuine Da Vinci).
