EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases two remarkable works by the legendary Italian artist, Leonardo da Vinci. Titled "Notes on Astronomy and Study of a Horses Head" these drawings were created around 1480 but were published in 1945 as part of the renowned book, The Drawings of Leonardo da Vinci. Leonardo's incredible talent is evident in this image, as he seamlessly combines his expertise in both art and science. On one side, we see intricate diagrams and measurements related to astronomy, reflecting his deep interest in celestial bodies. On the other side, a meticulously detailed study of a horse's head demonstrates his mastery of anatomical accuracy. The print transports us back to Renaissance Italy, where Leonardo flourished as an artist and scientist. His distinctive handwriting fills the pages with notes that are intriguingly written backwards—a characteristic feature known only to him. Through this monochrome sketchbook page turned print collector's item, we glimpse into Leonardo's mind—his insatiable curiosity about nature and his relentless pursuit of knowledge. It serves as a testament to his genius that continues to inspire artists and scientists alike even today. As we admire this rare piece from the fifteenth century through the lens of twentieth-century photography, we are reminded once again why Leonardo da Vinci remains an icon whose contributions transcend time itself.
