Leonardo: The Vitruvian Man 
Between Art and Science
October 10, 2009 - January 10, 2010

Wandering the calles and campos of Venice where a good photograph lurks around every corner, I sometimes have trouble dragging myself inside. But on my last trip to Venice, I made a special point to visit the Gallerie dell’Accademia -- or Academy. Why? Because Leonardo da Vinci’s “Vitruvian Man” was on display, a rare and extraordinary opportunity. So, off my husband and I went in search of the “Vitruvian Man,” and he did not disappoint.

To read more about my encounter with the Vitruvian Man and to find out more about the exhibit, check out my home blog:
