In this lecture, Laurenza will discuss why, as an artist, Leonardo da Vinci became focused on anatomy and studied the Earth like a scientist. He will dig into da Vinci\u2019s scientific studies in anatomy and geology and their results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This lecture is part of Cinquecento: Carleton Celebrates Leonardo da Vinci<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When<\/strong>: Monday, Nov. 25, 2019, at 7:30 p.m.

\nInfo<\/strong>: This event is free and open to the public. A campus map is available online<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Media are invited to attend the event.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Da Vinci\u2019s scientific studies are connected with his artistic work through the representation of the human figure and landscape \u2013 subjects that represent the microcosm and the macrocosm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lecture will explore this topic and expand on Laurenza\u2019s research into da Vinci\u2019s anatomical studies and geological work. In particular, the lecture will include new information that has emerged during the preparation of the new edition of Leonardo’s Codex Leicester<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
