The decision to show a selection of artworks by Leonardo Da Vinci was made in order to introduce the visitor of this exhibition to Leonardo’s world with his variety of interests and great ability to represent them through drawing.

The consistent use of hand-drawn sketches applied to all his research (anatomy, mathematics, nature and technology), the experimentation with innovative painting techniques and the attention to detail have made Leonardo the definitive protagonist of the golden age called the Renaissance.

This selection includes artworks from the Pinacoteca Ambrosiana and the Galleria Nazionale di Parma.
