Description
The present illustration by husband-and-wife team Alice and Martin Provensen is a study for Leonardo da Vinci's illustrated Book, executed circa the 1980s. It depicts the sequential evolution of his prototype flying machine. White-bearded Leonardo is shown three times. First, he is seen contemplating flight and engaging with a pigeon keeper, surrounded by a gaggle of curious youth. Leonardo is next shown atop the Campanile as he and some assistants release the birds to joyful expressions. In the final scene, we see the genius's pedal helicopter in test mode with inspirational pigeons flying above. A crowd of onlookers have expressions of wonder written on their faces. Signed lower right Unframed. This was a study or preliminary for a pop-up book on Leonardo da Vinci.
