To mark the 500th anniversary of Leonardo da Vinci’s death, Leonardo: The Works looks—as only the camera can—at the surprisingly small number of paintings attributed to the artist. These magnificent works include Mona Lisa, The Last Supper, Virgin of the Rocks, and the most recent to be authenticated, the Salvator Mundi, which sold at auction in 2017 for a record-shattering $450 million. The film also offers a fresh take on Leonardo himself—his inventiveness, sculptural skills, military foresight, and ability to navigate the treacherous politics of the day—through the lens of his art.
