Renaissance man Da Vinci celebrated in major Milan exhibition
- 9 years ago
The Palazzo Reale in Milan is celebrating the archetypal Renaissance man Leonardo Da Vinci with the largest ever exhibition of his works organised in Italy.
It includes over 200 artworks on loan from more than 100 museums around the world.
Painter, sculptor, inventor and draftsmen the collection offers a once in a lifetime overview of his body of work.
“We identified ten themes of his body of work, these ten themes span from his youth to his older age, and they show how each of them evolves,” exhibition curator Pietro C Marani explained. “One of them is about his drawing, which was the foundation of his art. But the novelty of this exhibition, is the constant comparison of Leonardo’s work with that of his preceding sources, both artistic and scientific ones, and with his contemporaries.”
