Discover a fresh perspective on Leonardo da Vinci's artwork. As the Louvre organizes a major exhibition marking the 500th anniversary of Leonardo da Vinci's death, this film takes the opportunity to explore his rare surviving paintings and the vision behind them. More than masterpieces, these works reflect his pursuit of art as a way to understand the world.
With only 16 canvases attributed to him, some unfinished, each painting is studied with insights from Leonardo's notebooks, sketches, and technical innovations. Infrared reflectography reveals the layers hidden beneath the surface, uncovering his working methods and the brilliance of his technique.
This is an illuminating journey into Leonardo da Vinci's artistry, showing how his paintings combine science, imagination, and emotion. Both timeless and deeply human, his artworks remain enduring testaments to a life devoted to unlocking the mysteries of the world.
