The show offers a biographical overview of Leonardo’s life and artistic evolution. It also sheds shed light on Leonardo’s uncanny modernity– his innovative techniques and perspectives that would foresee, in many ways, those that were to come. It promises to offer an unusually intimate look at a man who has been elevated to myth– showing his human and artistic processes in a way that has rarely been achieved. Organized chronologically, the exhibit traces the Florentine painter and inventor’s life and work as he travels to various places, lending rare insight into the great mind of the artist. This, the curators explain, is meant to give visitors a better understanding of Leonardo’s distinctive artistic practices and pictorial techniques. It brings new scientific methods and analysis to bear on the history and conservation of masterpieces such as Madonna and Saint Anne (Leonardo’s last well-preserved painting and considered by many critics to be his crowning achievement), La Belle Ferronnière, and Saint John the Baptist. The show takes an innovative approach to an artist whose work has too often been considered in an outdated, stodgy and overly conservative light.
