This print showcases the remarkable drawing titled "Drills for boring into the ground" from the renowned Codex Forster I, created by none other than Leonardo da Vinci himself. Housed in London's prestigious Victoria and Albert Museum, this artwork exemplifies the genius of one of history's greatest minds. Dating back to around 1493-1505, during the High Renaissance period, da Vinci's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his pen. The drawing depicts a series of drills designed for penetrating deep into the earth, showcasing both their intricate design and functionality. With its exquisite composition and technical precision, this piece reflects da Vinci's insatiable curiosity about engineering and exploration.
