Leonardo and the Power of Prestige Television in Revisiting History
Leonardo da Vinci, a towering figure of the Renaissance, continues to captivate audiences across various media. His legacy, first mythologized by Giorgio Vasari in Lives of the Most Excellent Painters, Sculptors, and Architects (1550), has been continually reinterpreted through artistic, literary, and cinematic lenses.
