Leonardo da Vinci's The Virgin and Child with Saint Anne

Season 1 Episode 2 | 7m 45s

All of Leonardo da Vinci’s accomplishments are showcased in his unfinished painting The Virgin and Child with Saint Anne. From his scientific and artistic knowledge to observations on how atmospheric phenomena – light, haze, vapor, altitude and distance – affect the appearance of the landscape, the intensity of colors and the sharpness of details.
