They are printed on 100% cotton rag acid-free, heavyweight fine art paper with a luxurious textured watercolor paper finish and archival pigment inks to ensure permanence. Created for collectors, they ARE NOT POSTERS or mass produced prints on low quality, inexpensive paper. Artist, inventor and quintessential Renaissance man, Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) was the most relentlessly curious man in history. During his lifetime he produced over 20,000 pages of notes and drawings of which some 4000 pages survive today. Now collectively known as The Notebooks of Leonardo da Vinci, this extensive body of notes, sketches and drawings explored subjects as diverse as anatomy, architecture, painting, military science, music and zoology among dozens of others. While Leonardo conceived his drawings as scientific studies and sketches for his paintings, his draftsmanship is breathtaking and his drawings stand as works of art in their own right. The three prints faithfully reproduce the brilliant colors and line detail of Leonardo’s original equestrian studies at his original dimensions. Equestrian Study, c.1494 This drawing was probably made for the great Sforza monument that took him to Milan, in the 1480s. A master of human and animal anatomy, he sketched horses throughout his lifetime for both his medical and artistic projects.
