The museum has very successfully curated the most thorough American exhibit of da Vinci’s drawings, showing sketches for paintings to the order of Virgin and Child with St. In the first room viewers will receive an historical context with the works of da Vinci’s teacher, Andrea del Verrocchio (1334/7-88), and his circle, after which they will saunter through six more wonderful rooms of da Vinci’s own works, concluding with those of the artist’s students/imitators (primarily Giovanni Antonio Boltraffio, Bernardino Luini and Andrea Solario, among others). Also, if you lack the time to view the entire exhibit, don’t leave without seeing Rock Formation, Cataclysmic Deluge Striking a Town, Cats and a Dragon, Rider on Horseback Fighting a Dragon, Head of the Virgin and Grotesque Man in Bust Length. My two friends and I resorted to discussions of each drawing’s worth and to elaborate schemes (primarily of Eric Adelman’s invention) of how one would theoretically go about burglarizing one of the paintings, complete with museum-wide diversions, etc.
