Leonardo da Vinci is one of the outstanding figures of the Renaissance and of all time.
An entirely self-taught intellectual giant, he was endlessly curious about the physical world. His amazing notebooks reveal the breadth of his research into areas as diverse as anatomy, architecture, botany, geometry, mathematics, physics and engineering, including his extraordinary anticipation of modern technology.
Today he lives for us as an artist in such milestones of painting as the Mona Lisa and The Virgin on the Rocks.
