Leonardo da Vinci

Part Two: Painter-God

Season 1 Episode 2 | 1hr 46m 25s

Leonardo works as a military engineer, designs fanciful flying machines, studies light and shadow, investigates gravity, dissects cadavers, and pens treatises on a vast array of subjects, all while seeking the perfect patron. In Florence, Milan, Rome and finally France, he pours the sum of his scientific and artistic knowledge into a portrait that would become the most famous painting on earth.

Aired: 11/18/24 | Expires: 12/16/24
