TOPIC OF THE DAY

Leonardo da Vinci and India

Leonardo da Vinci never visited India and yet he nurtured a deep empathy for the land its people and culture. This comes across from the reading of his many manuscripts, a study of his art work and the records of his contemporaries. Leonardo, the master artist read much material on India. "This second hand information could have given Leonardo the idea of relationship between Man and Nature which is very different from that possessed by the European and Italian Renaissance people," said Prof. Carlo Vecce, who is a professor of Italian Literature, at the University of Macerata. Prof. Vecce delivered a lecture at the IGNCA (October 12, 2004) on the topic "Leonardo da Vinci and India."
