WIRRAL, ENGLAND.- Lady Lever Art Gallery presents "Leonardo drawings from The Royal Collection", on view through April 21, 2002. Ten of the finest drawings by the Renaissance master, Leonardo da Vinci, from the Royal Library, Windsor Castle, are on show at Lady Lever Art Gallery, as part of the celebrations to mark the Golden Jubilee of Her Majesty The Queen. The Lady Lever Art Gallery, Port Sunlight, Wirral, is the first venue for the Royal Collection's touring exhibition, Ten Drawings by Leonardo da Vinci from the Royal Collection: A Golden Jubilee Celebration, which will be shown from 15 February to 21 April 2002. This is an exceptional opportunity for people in the North West to see these masterpieces in one of the region's finest art galleries. The Lady Lever Art Gallery is one of National Museums & Galleries on Merseyside's three art galleries. The Royal Collection holds the world's most important group of Leonardo drawings, unrivalled in terms of its size and breadth of subject matter. The ten drawings selected for the exhibition have been specially selected to reflect all stages of Leonardo's career and the wide range of his interests, such as architecture, engineering, anatomy, optics, geology and botany. The exhibition includes dramatic studies of the sea-god Neptune, a cataclysmic tempest overwhelming a landscape, and mortars bombarding a fortress. There are delicate drawings of a beautiful youth in profile, the drapery of a kneeling figure and a sprig of blackberry plant. The highly finished map of southern Tuscany and the studies of a horse in three positions, the anatomy of a shoulder and of the science of light and shadows reveal other aspects of Leonardo's work.
