EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history - "Studies on building an arch" by the legendary Leonardo da Vinci. Housed in the prestigious British Museum of London, this artwork is part of the Arundel Codex 263, specifically found on page c. 158r. Dating back to the late 15th and early 16th centuries, this drawing exemplifies da Vinci's genius as both an artist and a scientist. Known for his diverse talents, he seamlessly merged High Renaissance and Renaissance-Baroque styles in this particular work. The image depicts meticulous studies and sketches related to architectural design, focusing specifically on constructing an arch. Da Vinci's attention to detail is evident as he explores various techniques and calculations required for such a feat. His mastery shines through each stroke of his pen or brush. Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519), widely regarded as one of history's greatest polymaths, left an indelible mark on art and science alike. This photograph allows us to appreciate his brilliance up close while preserving its historical significance for future generations. Captured in 2001 by Alinari, this image immortalizes not only da Vinci's artistic prowess but also Europe's rich cultural heritage from the first and second millennia AD. The brickwork depicted serves as a testament to the enduring legacy that transcends time itself. As we gaze upon this awe-inspiring print, we are reminded of Leonardo da Vinci's immense contributions to human knowledge and creativity during the Renaissance era. It stands as a testament to his insatiable curiosity about nature, architecture, engineering - all facets that continue to inspire artists today across different disciplines worldwide.
