Unmatched in his ingenuity, technical prowess, and curiosity, Leonardo da Vinci (1452\u20131519) epitomizes the humanistic ideal of the Renaissance man: a peerless master of painting, sculpture, cartography, anatomy, architecture \u2013 and more. Simultaneously captivating art historians, collectors, and the millions who flock yearly to admire his works, Leonardo\u2019s appeal is as diffuse as were his preoccupations. His images permeate nearly every facet of Western culture \u2013 The Vitruvian Man is engraved into millions of Euro coins, The Last Supper is considered the single most reproduced religious painting in history, and the Mona Lisa has entranced countless artists and observers for centuries.<\/p>\n

An expansive catalog of nearly 700 of Leonardo\u2019s drawings further illuminates the breadth of his pursuits. From diagrams of intricately engineered machines to portraits of plump infants, they stand reflective of his boundless and visionary technical imagination, balanced with a subtle and perceptive hand, capable of rendering quotidian moments with moving emotional timbre.<\/p>\n
