Leonardo da Vinci Jean Claude Ferer

The story of probably the most renowned painting in the world. A work three years in the making, Leonardo Da Vinci's The Last Supper remains one of the greatest masterpieces of all time. Even over 500 years after the painting was completed, this piece remains one of the most studied paintings in history.

Using unique multimedia technology, Corbis brings new accessibility to the mind and genius of the original "Renaissance man." Inspired by the Codex Leicester, which was created around 1508, the "Leonardo da Vinci" CD-ROM focuses on nature and science and their relationship to art. Starting with Leonardo da Vinci's seldom-seen personal notebook and journal, the Codex Leicester, the CD-ROM explores Leonardo's thoughts and how he saw the world, as well as his ideas and inventions.

Art historian Dr Janina Ramirez embarks on a journey through six decades of the BBC archives to create a television history of one of the most celebrated figures in art - Leonardo Da Vinci. Ramirez shows how experts and art presenters - from Andrew Graham-Dixon to Fiona Bruce to Kenneth Clarke - have turned to television to bring Leonardo's artwork out of galleries and into our living rooms. Through television they have explored the origins of Leonardo's boundless curiosity, his pioneering use of light and shade, and his remarkable scientific exploration.
