Leonardo Da Vinci Part I: A Golden Age of Bastards


Listen Later

This is the first in a series of five episodes on the original Renaissance man, Leonardo Da Vinci.  This episode dives into the conditions that resulted in the Italian Renaissance as well as Leonardo's dubious birth status, both of which combined to lay the foundation for the one of the greatest artists of all time.  We also explore his time as an apprentice in Verrocchio's studio, including his controversial work on The Baptism of Christ as well as Leonardo's sexuality, a subject that was at the heart of Sigmund Freud's biography of the man.
