サザビーズのインスタグラム(sothebys) - 5月2日 23時14分

On the 500th anniversary of the artist’s passing, we are thrilled to announce that one of Leonardo da Vinci's greatest drawings will return to the US for the first time in over 15 years to highlight our 'Treasure's from Chatsworth' exhibition this summer in #NYC. ‘Leda and the Swan’ – one of the jewels of the famed Devonshire Collection and @chatsworthofficial – was created by Da Vinci in Florence or Milan circa 1506 – while he was working on the Mona Lisa. A mythological preparatory drawing in pen, ink and wash, the work represents one of his earliest designs for a composition of Leda, wife of the King of Sparta, and Jupiter, who has taken the form of a swan. What makes the work even more remarkable is its history, having almost been lost in the chaos of World War II. The drawing was on loan to an exhibition of Da Vinci’s work in Milan in 1939 when it was not able to leave Italy due to the war, and survived World War II in storage at the Castel Sant'Angelo, Rome. Sadly, the painting for which this drawing served as a study has itself not survived. Sotheby’s ‘Treasures from Chatsworth’ exhibition will mark the first public viewing of ‘Leda and the Swan’ in the United States since the @メトロポリタン美術館’s ground-breaking 2003 exhibition ‘Leonardo da Vinci, Master Draftsman.’ Free of charge and open to the public, ‘Treasures from Chatsworth’ will be on view from 28 June through 18 September 2019 in our newly renovated and reimagined New York galleries. #TreasuresFromChatsworth #leonardodavinci #davinci
