Leonardo da Vinci’s virtuosic intellect produced some of the world’s most culturally significant works of art and groundbreaking scientific research. Da Vinci’s masterpieces, including the famed Mona Lisa and his depiction of the Last Supper, captivate visitors from all over the world, and his discoveries in numerous fields of study, from Mathematics to Astronomy, continue to have a lasting influence on modern thinking. Join us for the Fall 2017 Lecture-Luncheon for an exciting opportunity to delve into the depths of Leonardo Da Vinci’s life.
