He was a painter, sculptor, architect, art historian, musician, natural scientist, writer and inventor. But above all he was an artist and universal genius.
The exhibit Leonardo da Vinci Man | Artist | Genius in the Minoritenkirche Vienna gives you an extraordinary opportunity to see all 23 paintings known to be created by Leonardo da Vinci, all of which are replicated in their original size. They are presented in chronological order to provide a better grasp of the developments and changes in Leonardo’s work. Furthermore, visitors are informed about the journeys most of his paintings have taken around the world during the past 500 years.
During the exhibit, music from the time of Leonardo da Vinci is played. Professor Reinhard Amon and Maestro Prof. Contini have meticulously resurrected the music Leonardo composed during his life, and which now guides visitors through the exhibit.
Visitors who want to see the ‘Mona Lisa’ have to wait for hours at the Louvre in Paris, for the ‘Benois Madonna’ one must travel to St. Petersburg, while ‘Madonna in the Cave’ can be found at The National Gallery in London. For the price of a single exhibit, visitors can appreciate all of Leonardo da Vinci’s wonderful paintings – without having to travel the world!
