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 Leonardos artwork out of galleries and into our living rooms. Through television they have explored the origins of Leonardos boundless curiosity, his pioneering use of light and shade, and his remarkable scientific exploration.Along the way Dr Ramirez discovers Britains little-known version of The Last Supper, the gruesome ways Leonardo acquired his anatomical knowledge - and even what lies beneath the Mona Lisa.
