LEONARDO DA VINCI –BEYOND THE VISIBLE
Jan16 Sat-Apr 10 Sun

 

Leonardo Da Vinci（1452－1519）is well known as a “universalist” who was not only a painter and sculptor but also active as a stage designer, musician, military engineer and architect. He left behind his studies and thoughts in a great number of codices and tried to express them as paintings, In this exhibition, “Madonna of the Yarnwinder”, an oil painting drawn during his ripening stage, and his original “Codice sul volo degli uccelli” (Codex on the Flight of Birds) will both be shown in Japan for the first time. They will join seven original drawings also making their Japan debut, along with about 70 prints depicting the life of Leonardo, offering the audience the chance to systematically enjoy the challenges of this genius through models faithfully reproduced from the originals.
