“Leonardo da Vinci: Treasures from the Biblioteca Reale, Turin” Exhibition
The Morgan Library & Museum
This event has ended.
For the first time in New York, the Morgan presents Leonardo da Vinci’s extraordinary Codex on the Flight of Birds, and one of his most celebrated drawings, the Head of a Young Woman, which served as a model for the so-called Virgin of the Rocks. They will be shown together with a selection of further drawings by Leonardo and his followers. This exceptional group of works, on loan from the Biblioteca Reale in Turin, will be joined by the Morgan’s Codex Huygens, a treatise on painting from the late sixteenth century which contains copies of now-lost original drawings by Leonardo.
