Part Two: Painter-God

Leonardo works as a military engineer, designs fanciful flying machines, studies light and shadow, investigates gravity, dissects cadavers and pens treatises on a vast array of subjects, all while seeking the perfect patron.

In Florence, Milan, Rome and finally France, he pours the sum of his scientific and artistic knowledge into a portrait that will become the most famous painting on earth.

A film by Ken Burns, Sarah Burns and David McMahon.
