Works from the master’s hand

The Da Vinci – The Genius exhibition has travelled the world, giving a rare glimpse of a man hundreds of years ahead of his time.

VISITORS to the Louvre will tell you that, at best, you can only get a glimpse of Leonardo da Vinci’s 500-year-old masterpiece, the Mona Lisa. You don’t really have the luxury of time to soak in that famous infectious smile because of the always-crowded gallery and lines of people waiting to lay their eyes on what is arguably the most famous painting in the world.
