The Mysteries of Leonardo

A talk in English by Italian Art Historian Costantino D’Orazio who reveals the hidden enigmas in Leonardo's masterpieces.

Painter, Sculptor, Inventor, Scientist, Musician, Architect: the eclectic Leonardo da Vinci is considered to be one of the greatest genius known to humankind, the creator of the world’s most famous painting, a precursor for many modern inventions and yet he is still one of history’s most enigmatic figures. The life and work of Vinci are a rebus which Costantino D’Orazio deciphers using a new, interpretative key which follows Vinci’s paintings like Ariadne’s thread to explore the labyrinthical mind of the artist.

D'Orazio is the author of a number of works dedicated to art including 'The Mysteries of Caravaggio' (Sperling&Kupfer, 2013), 'The Mysteries of Leonardo' (Sperling&Kupfer, 2014), and 'The Mysteries of Raffaello' (Sperling&Kupfer, 2015).
