EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the late 15th century, immersing us in a scene within an arsenal. Created by the genius mind of Leonardo da Vinci, this drawing showcases his unparalleled talent and fascination with military technology. In this artwork, we witness a group of nude male figures diligently hoisting a cannon using a pulley system. The setting is a bustling military storeyard or arsenal, where weapons are stored and prepared for warfare. Da Vinci's attention to detail is evident as he captures the heavy machinery involved in lifting such massive artillery. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth and intensity to the image, emphasizing both the strength required to handle these weapons and the gravity of war itself. This drawing was featured in Bernhard Degenhart's book "Europaische Handzeichnungen" which celebrated five centuries of European drawings. Leonardo da Vinci's contribution to art and science during the Renaissance era cannot be overstated. His ability to merge creativity with technical precision made him one of history's most revered polymaths. Through this print, we catch a glimpse into his exploration of weaponry and engineering. Displayed at Ulster Museum in Belfast, Northern Ireland as part of their Royal Collection, this piece serves as a testament not only to Leonardo da Vinci's brilliance but also to humanity's enduring fascination with warfare throughout history.
