Leonardo da Vinci Investigates the Human Body

Season 1 Episode 2 | 7m 22s

Leonardo da Vinci resumes his investigation into human anatomy, merging rigorous scientific exploration with expert artistry. The scope of his studies grew, and he strove to describe human anatomy from the fetus to the fully grown man and women – their proportions, skeletal framework, muscular systems, and the nature of the senses.

Corporate funding for LEONARDO da VINCI was provided by Bank of America. Major funding was provided by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, and by The Better Angels Society and by its individual members The Paul and Sandra Montrone Family; Stephen A. Schwarzman; Diane and Hal Brierley; Carol and Ned Spieker; Michael and Sandy Collins; Mario J. Gabelli; The Lynch Foundation; McCloskey Family Charitable Trust; Cappy and Janie McGarr; and John and Leslie McQuown. Funding was also provided by Gilbert S. Omenn and Martha Darling; the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation; and the Robert and Mercedes Eichholz Foundation.
