Da Vinci: The Genius
The official press release
The world of the Italian Renaissance man has been captured a comprehensive exhibition including a 3D film about his life. For the occasion, 19 rooms of Arte Canal have been filled with reconstructions of the places where he worked, pieces by his students and replicas of many of his machines.

The exhibition is divided into three parts: the first focuses on more personal side of Da Vinci, the second takes a look at the painting of his Italian and Spanish students and the third shows the machines that he created.

A number of Spanish and foreign museums have helped recreate spaces and objects to give the public a better understanding of Leonardo da Vinci; this is the case of the reconstruction of his library and study, which includes over 40 original codices and manuscripts and five original drawings by the artist.

The exhibition also finds room for the creations of Da Vinci’s students. Some of the pieces in this section, such as Giampietrino’s ‘The Last Supper’, are being shown for the first time in Spain. Seventy of his machines, many of them interactive, have also been reconstructed to give a full view of all the fields explored by this multifaceted artist.

`Da Vinci: The Genius’ includes a 3D film about his life and work. Coinciding with this exhibition, several workshops and a tasting session of five gourmet dishes created by the chef Sergi Arola have also been lined up.
