Une Nuit au Louvre: Léonard de Vinci plot
In memory of his 500th death date, the Louvre organized a major exhibition on Leonardo da Vinci. The trustees have been working on it for 10 years. More than 1 million visitors came to this exhibition in the autumn of 2019. This retrospective of his entire career as a painter shows how Leonardo placed painting above all other disciplines. With the 'science of painting' as he called it, he brought his research of the world to life. During this cinematographic private visit to the Louvre, the curators of the exhibition share their art knowledge with the viewer. The documentary provides new insights into Leonardo's unprecedented painting techniques and his world-famous works.
