EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable drawing by the genius artist Leonardo da Vinci, titled "Drawing analyzing the centers of movement of the neck, shoulders, torso and haunch of a horse". The artwork is housed in the prestigious Royal Library of Windsor and belongs to the High Renaissance period. In this piece, da Vinci's meticulous attention to detail is evident. The first drawing, executed in silver point technique, captures the essence of equine motion with unparalleled precision. Accompanying measurements are meticulously rendered in pen, further emphasizing his scientific approach. The second drawing on pinkish paper solely employs silver point medium. This choice adds a subtle warmth to the composition while maintaining focus on anatomical accuracy. Da Vinci's ability to seamlessly blend artistry with scientific observation shines through both drawings. Dating back to 1470-1519 approximately during Europe's Renaissance era, this artwork exemplifies da Vinci's mastery across multiple styles and periods. It beautifully reflects his deep understanding of anatomy and zoology as he explores the movements specific to horses. With its subject matter centered around terrestrial mammals and vertebrates like horses, this masterpiece delves into zootechnics—a testament to da Vinci's insatiable curiosity about nature itself. Captured in 2001 by Alinari without any commercial intent or affiliation mentioned here explicitly (not mentioning company), this photograph immortalizes an extraordinary work that continues to inspire awe centuries after its creation. As we gaze upon it today, we are reminded not only of Leonardo da Vinci’s immense talent but also his profound impact on both art history and our understanding of animal anatomy.
