Leonardo da Vinci- exhibition of his works in Barcelona
The Mona Lisa was one of his most famous, most reproduced and most imitated painting of all time. We are talking about Leonardo da Vinci, the genius, from which the name of the exhibition “Leonardo genio curioso” that will be undertaken until the beginning of september in the Museum Maritim derives. His paintings are famous for a variety of qualities which have been much imitated by students and discussed at great length by connoisseurs and critics. Among the qualities that make Leonardo’s work unique are the innovative techniques that he used in laying on the paint, his detailed knowledge of anatomy, light, botany and geology, his interest in physiognomy and the way in which humans register emotion in expression and gesture, his innovative use of the human form in figurative composition and his use of the subtle gradation of tone.
Leonardo’s studies in science and engineering are as impressive and innovative as his artistic work, recorded in notebooks comprising some 13,000 pages of notes and drawings, which fuse art and natural philosophy.
The exhibition provides the leonardians machine and some paintings. The Maritime Musuem open its doors from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.
