It’s impossible to pinpoint the invention of the violin, because the instrument didn’t just show up, but rather evolved from other instruments. The violin is an amalgam (combination) of the rebec, Lira de Braccio, and the vielle.
The earliest possible creation of the modern violin is by Andrea Amati in 1555 (although that date cannot be verified). However, the oldest surviving violin is dated 1560 from a set of 24 violins that Charles IX (French king) ordered from Amati.
ost modern violins are modeled after Stradivari or Guarnari violins, which were made in the late 1600’s and early 1700’s.
