A scientist, mathematician, engineer, inventor, anatomist, painter, sculptor, architect, botanist, musician and writer, Leonardo Da Vinci (1452--1519) was a polymath and arguably the main figure of the Renaissance. He set out to learn all there is to know, conceived new ideas and inventions that changed the world, and created artistic works of astonishing elegance and beauty, including the most famous painting in history, the Mona Lisa.Produced by the BBC, "Leonardo Da Vinci" (2004) is a portrait of a genius of extraordinary diversity. The three-episode docudrama reconstructs the life of Leonardo from early childhood to death. Religious attention to detail along with masterful acting and brilliant costume bring Leonardo to life in a way never seen before. The atmosphere and scenery of his time are given a beating heart, conveying a believable feeling of a society rising from the middle ages.Each episode of this captivating series is infused with brilliant academic commentary and includes the building and testing of some of Leonardo's inventions. Among these reconstructions are his tank, hang glider, underwater suit, and parachute. Did these amazing concepts, way ahead of their time, work as Leonardo intended?This is a documentary of the kind the BBC (and British TV in general) is rightly praised.
