In this lecture, we will discuss one of the greatest artists and geniuses of all time — Leonardo da Vinci. We’ll cover Leonardo’s amazing mastery of all branches of art, together with his unquenchable curiosity that led him to research, design and invent a huge variety of topics from anatomy to the secret of flight to the motion of planets to war machinery — all of that hundreds of years before others. As usual, we’ll discuss his complex and extraordinary life in the context of life in the 15th century, and along the way we’ll put things in perspective of the history of Italy and the Renaissance.
