10 November 2012 – 20 January 2013

The Ferens Art Gallery is the only venue in the north of England to host this exciting exhibition, which includes some of Leonardo da Vinci’s finest drawings. The ten drawings reflect the artist's use of different media and his extraordinary range of interests from painting and sculpture to engineering, botany, mapmaking, hydraulics, and anatomy. The exhibition includes designs for chariots fitted with flailing clubs, a study of the head of Leda, a drawing of oak leaves, a double-sided sheet of anatomical sketches, a design for a scheme to drain marshland, a view of a river from a window, a costume study of a man on horseback, apocalyptic scenes, and a rough study of an old man in profile, which is one of the last drawings made by the artist.  Before the exhibition arrives at the Ferens Art Gallery, Hull, it will have been seen in Birmingham, Bristol, Belfast and Dundee.

The Royal Collection, one of the world's greatest art collections, is held in trust by The Queen for her successors and the nation. The Collection is administered by the Royal Collection Trust, a registered charity. The aims of the Trust are the care and conservation of the Royal Collection and the promotion of public access and enjoyment through exhibitions, publications, loans and educational activities.

This exhibition is sponsored by Aberdeen Enterprise Finance Ltd, Crown Paints, Humberside Decorative Supplies Ltd, and Wykeland Group.
