Presented by Humanities West in association with the Leonardo Da Vinci Society and the Italian Cultural Institute of San Francisco.
The Leonardo Award Ceremony is also presented in collaboration with ISSNAF.
Five centuries after his death, Leonardo Da Vinci is attracting more attention for his art, his science and his mechanical inventiveness than ever. Humanities West celebrates his continuing cultural contributions with an encore presentation of Leonardo’s Legacy, our February 2019 program, again featuring Martin Kemp, a world-renowned Leonardo scholar, who will treat us this time to his latest research on Leonardo’s study of the science of optics and how that study influenced his artistic creations. And Deborah Loft will reprise her popular lecture, Leonardo’s Artistic Legacy: Homage and Irony. The event is moderate by George Hammond.
