Drawing was Leonardo da Vinci's primary artistic activity. He used drawing to think, to explore the world around him, and to develop his other artistic projects. His drawings are among the most diverse and technically accomplished in the entire history of art, and the Royal Collection holds by far the most important selection of these.

In 2019, to mark the 500th anniversary of Leonardo's death, a series of special exhibitions of his drawings will open simultaneously at 12 venues across the United Kingdom, including Belfast, Birmingham, Bristol, Cardiff, Glasgow, Leeds, Liverpool, Manchester, Sheffield, Southampton, and Sunderland, with a further venue to be announced.

Leonardo da Vinci: A Life in Drawing includes all 200 of the drawings shown across these venues and provides an authoritative account of Leonardo's works within the Royal Collection.
