This exhibition catalogue chronicles the mastery of draughtsmanship that defined the 16th century, bringing together preparatory sketches, anatomical studies, and compositional masterworks that illuminate the creative minds of Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, and their contemporaries. Produced to accompany the landmark touring exhibition across major Australian galleries — including the Art Gallery of South Australia and the National Gallery of Victoria — the volume serves as both a scholarly record and an intimate window into the working methods of Renaissance genius.\n\nCompiled by Nicholas Turner and Rhett Rossiton-Black of the British Museum's Department of Prints and Drawings, the catalogue argues with quiet authority that the drawn line — not the finished fresco or painted panel — is where the Renaissance mind is most candidly revealed. The authors detail the historical and stylistic contexts of each work with precision, situating individual drawings within the broader intellectual and cultural currents of 15th- and 16th-century Italy. Supported by the Australian Gallery Directors Council, QANTAS, and T.A.A., this publication remains a rare and distinguished record of an extraordinary cultural exchange — leaving the reader to wonder what further secrets these master drawings have yet to yield.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50609656987867,"sku":"2026100010761-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/966ae40b-780d-4a28-962e-8ff5fac2b348.png?v=1791764393","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100010761-secondhand-leonardo-michelangelo-and-the-century-of-genius-master-drawings-from-the-british-museum","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
