The drawings of Leonardo da Vinci are the richest, most wide-ranging, most technically brilliant and most endlessly fascinating of any artist. The unrivalled group of his drawings at Windsor Castle is one of the greatest treasures of the Royal Collection.

This catalogue of ten of Leonardo’s finest drawings accompanies an exhibition organised by Royal Collection Trust, touring to four venues in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland in 2016, and demonstrates many of the different interests of the archetypal Renaissance man. Martin Clayton is Head of Prints and Drawings, Royal Collection Trust.
