At a Glance
Why does Leonardo da Vinci remain such an icon even more than 500 years after his death? Join art history expert, curator and educator Matt Palczynski for a discussion about this master of artistry and science who fashioned works like Mona Lisa and Vitruvian Man as a bridge that united the two paradigms. In creating a profoundly harmonious nexus of nature, art, life and the cosmos, discover what still makes Da Vinci’s work and legacy so fascinating today. This lecture is presented in collaboration with the special exhibit, “Leonardo da Vinci: Inventor. Artist. Dreamer.” at the California Science Center in Los Angeles.
