Leonardo da Vinci was a true polymath - painter, sculptor, architect, engineer (civil and military), anatomist, physicist, geologist…

Join Martin Kemp, author and Emeritus Research Professor in the History of Art at Oxford University, to discover how Leonardo saw ‘art’ and ‘science’ as sharing the same foundations.

The twelve drawings in our exhibition Leonardo: A Life in Drawing will provide an entry into Leonardo’s extraordinary vision, which Kemp says is not based on diversity but on an essential unity at the heart of the way that man and nature are designed.
