The Australian: The Renaissance of Leonardo da Vinci

Few exhibitions in recent years have created such anticipation as the Leonardo da Vinci show that opens at the Louvre in Paris on Thursday. It is, after all, the quincentenary year of the original Renaissance man, born in the little town of Vinci, near Florence, in 1452, and who died in Amboise, France, 500 years ago.
