Leonardo da Vinci and the music

Itinerant exhibition which offered an overview of Leonardo Da Vinci’s trajectory across a dynamic and expressive tour which cleverly illustrated his life and works and his relation with music. The presentation was organised in four topic areas which described various aspects of the author’s work. Zone A displayed the valuable Madrid I and II codex suspended inside glass showcases floating over a dark background which recreated a studio of the epoch. Above, a lit up revolving printed cupola completed the scene. Zone B aimed to introduce us into the author’s mind through a labyrinth of superimposed printed sheets featuring fragmented images of Da Vinci’s face alternated with his famous quotations. Zone C illustrated nine different topics in order to explain the artists’ relation with music. Finally, Zone D offered superimposed audiovisual projections over an array of semi-transparent fabric screens.
