October 20th 2019 – February 20th 2020
Louvre, Paris
One of the biggest events of the season in the art worls, opened on October 24th 2019 in France. What are the hightlights of this exhibition? The inclusion of unique works of Leonardo “L’Uomo Vitruviano” (The Vitruvian Man), that this year we saw at the Galleria dell’Accademia in Venice back in June. It is typically shown every six years because it’s so fragile and this year we were lucky enough to see it. You can see it at the Louvre until February 20th 2020.
The Louvre owns four other paintings by Leonardo—The Virgin of the Rocks, La Belle Ferronnière, Saint John the Baptist, and Saint Anne, comprising about one-third of all the paintings attributed to Leonardo—and they will all be in the show as well as the Mona Lisa.
Salvator Mundi, the painting now in Saudi Arabia where the owner resides is still not sure to be part of the exhibition.
A visit is worth it since Delieuvin and Frank, who have worked for realizing this project for ten years, are convinced that you’ll learn something totally new about the career of Leonardo da Vinci.

The room is next to the one of Raphael, on the second floor of the Uffizi.
On the left is the Baptism of Christ, executed for the Church of San Salvi in Florence in 1475/78, where young Leonardo collaborated with his master Andrea del Verrocchio realizing the angel in profile.
On the opposite wall is the Annunciation, from the Church of Monte Oliveto, in the centre is the recently restored Adoration of the Magi, commissioned by the Augustinians for their Church of San Donato a Scopeto and left unfinished when Leonardo had to move to Milan in 1482.
