Leonardo Live-A Cinematic Tour

This cinema event debuts in movie theaters across the country for only one night -- LEONARDO LIVE, a cinematic tour of the sold-out National Gallery (UK) exhibition "Leonardo da Vinci: Painter at the Court of Milan", created especially for movie theater audiences. Presented by NCM Fathom, BY Experience and PhilGrabskyFilms.com, LEONARDO LIVE appears on the big screen on Thursday, February 16 at 7:00 p.m. local time.

Captured live on November 8, 2011, LEONARDO LIVE provides a virtual walk-through of the exhibit, with exclusive commentary from scholars and curators. Hosted by highly respected art historian Tim Marlow and presenter Mariella Frostrup, the exhibition brings together the largest number of da Vinci’s rare surviving painting and some international loans. While numerous exhibitions have looked at da Vinci as an inventor, scientist or draughtsman, this is the first to be dedicated to his aims and techniques as a painter.
