The exhibition 1/2

LEONARDO DA VINCI: MASTERPIECES & FLYING MACHINES

The dialogue between these masterpieces has been made

possible using the DAW® – Digital Art Work – technique by

which digital replicas are produced in a limited serie and

then authenticated, numbered, and certified in 1:1 scale,

identical to the originals.

The decision to show a selection of artworks by Leonardo

Da Vinci was made in order to introduce the visitor of this

exhibition to Leonardo’s world with his variety of interests

and great ability to represent them through drawing.

The consistent use of hand-drawn sketches applied to all

his research (anatomy, mathematics, nature and

technology), the experimentation with innovative

painting techniques and the attention to detail have made

Leonardo the definitive protagonist of the golden age

called the Renaissance.

LEONARDO DA VINCI: MASTERPIECES & FLYING MACHINES

This selection includes artworks from the Pinacoteca Ambrosiana and the

Galleria Nazionale di Parma.

In addition to some of the Leonardo’s

most popular masterpieces, the focus of

this selection is on the flying machines.

Leonardo’s desire to reproduce the flight

of birds brought the genius to imagine

the first flying tools in history, like

ornithopters, fixed-wing gliders,

rotorcraft and parachutes. His journey in

imitating the Nature was only at the

beginning…

The focus of this exhibition is on flying machines, but it is entirely customizable since Cinello owns the rights to make DAWs of all the ‘Atlanticus Codex’ by Leonardo. Mechanics, mathematics, astronomy, geography and anatomy are only some of the subjects analyzed in the drawings by the Renaissance master.
