Description:
Leonardo da Vinci: Anatomist is the superb catalogue
of the largest ever exhibition of Leonardo da Vinci’s studies of the
human body.
Leonardo has long been recognised as one of the great artists of the
Renaissance, but he was also a pioneer in the understanding of human
anatomy. He intended to publish his ground-breaking work in a treatise
on anatomy, and had he done so his discoveries would have transformed
European knowledge of the subject. But on Leonardo’s death in 1519 the
drawings remained a mass of undigested material among his private
papers and their significance was effectively lost to the world for
almost 400 years.
Today they are among the Royal Collection’s greatest treasures and
exhibited in London at The Queen's Gallery (Friday, 04 May 2012 to
Sunday, 07 October 2012).
