This 36-lecture course — packed with illustrations and animations that bring you closer than ever before to Leonardo's paintings, sculptures, sketches, and notebooks — is like touring an imaginary and comprehensive exhibit devoted to his entire career. You'll gain fresh insights into his iconic paintings, his important anatomical studies, and his astonishingly prescient visions for machines we now take for granted. But more than that, you'll experience what it was like to live in Leonardo's world and to understand the High Renaissance as it swept through great Italian cities such as Florence, Milan, and Rome."
