The Berkshire Museum, located in downtown Pittsfield, MA, has an exhibit titled: Leonardo da Vinci: Machines in Motion. This exhibit features forty model replica's of Leonardo 's inventions. However, the exhibit ends soon, on September 8. I don't know if I have the time to squeeze in a visit but do not want to miss it.
These are some of the magazines and books on Leonardo which I have read recently. Beyond his legendary paintings, I have always been taken by his drawings which are such powerful depictions of his imagination and observations. The fluidity of his pen reflect his mastery of human anatomy like no other.
Over the centuries as we discover(or rediscover) more insights from his papers, his works become more intriguing. Is Leonardo the model for some of his drawings on the human form? Many scholars think so.
