Nottingham Castle is displaying ten of the finest drawings by Leonardo da Vinci from the Royal Collection in a new exhibition from 30 July - 9 October 2016.

Featuring an introduction written by Dr Gabriele Neher, an Associate Professor in History of Art at the Undersity of Nottingham, students from the History of Art Department have also worked alongside the team from Nottingham Castle.

The works on display have been selected to show the extraordinary scope of the artist’s interests, from painting and sculpture to engineering, zoology, botany, mapmaking and anatomy, as well as his use of different media – pen and ink, red and black chalks, watercolour and metalpoint.
