Leonardo da Vinci Investigates the Human Body

Season 1 Episode 2 | 7m 22s

Leonardo da Vinci resumes his investigation into human anatomy, merging rigorous scientific exploration with expert artistry. The scope of his studies grew, and he strove to describe human anatomy from the fetus to the fully grown man and women – their proportions, skeletal framework, muscular systems, and the nature of the senses.
