 | The Royal Cornwall Museum’s first ever Leonardo da Vinci exhibition has officially opened. | | 4:51pm Sat 17 May 08 | | Comprising ten exquisite drawings from the Royal Collection, the exhibition celebrates the sixtieth birthday of HRH The Prince of Wales who, in his foreword to the exhibition's accompanying book writes: Of Leonardo, perhaps more than of any other artist, it can truthfully be said that all human life is there', and in even in this small selection of his drawings we can see the infinite variety' of his brilliance.
From his intimate studies of anatomy to his exploration of the power and pent-up energy of the forces of Nature, every variety of human experience is laid before us in Leonardo's drawings; and that is perhaps why he still speaks so strongly to us today.'
Despite the awe-inspiring subject matter, there is an intimate feel to the exhibition which means that visitors can get very close to the drawings and appreciate the detail. |
