This print showcases a remarkable piece of history - "Notes on gravity" written by the legendary Leonardo da Vinci.

Leonardo da Vinci, renowned for his multifaceted genius, left an indelible mark on various fields including art, science, and engineering. This particular artwork dates back to the late 15th to early 16th century (1478-1518 ca. ), reflecting both High Renaissance and Renaissance-Baroque styles and periods. The photograph itself was taken in 2001, allowing us to marvel at every intricate detail captured from this ancient manuscript. The image reveals Leonardo's meticulous handwriting accompanied by meticulously drawn diagrams that explore the concept of gravity - a subject that would later revolutionize our understanding of physics.
