| He was the Renaissance's unfinished masterpiece: a supreme artist who completed some of the most memorable paintings the world has ever known and a brilliant thinker of modern ideas and inventions. Who was Leonardo Da Vinci, and what are the secrets behind his genius? This Italian masterpiece directed by Renato Castellani was shot using 100 actors, 500 extras, and many of the actual locations where Da Vinci lived, worked, and dreamed. We witness his most historic triumphs, including the creation of The Last Supper and the Mona Lisa, paintings that have become embedded in our collective consciousness. Based on eyewitness accounts, documentary evidence and informed speculation, this beautifully, richly photographed film adds compelling brushstrokes to the Da Vinci legend.
