da Vinci Talks: at the Cell Block Theatre in November

On the occasion of the 500th anniversary of Leonardo da Vinci’s death, and to coincide with the Louvre’s blockbuster exhibition about the artist, Agenda is partnering with the National Art School to invite you to a three-part series of talks about European art history.

Your host and presenter will be Paris-based art commentator, Jacques Le Roux. Over three nights, he will talk about Leonardo da Vinci, the iconic Notre Dame de Paris and the three masters of the Renaissance – Leonardo, Michelangelo and Rafael.
