This collection brings together Renaissance masterpieces that dialogue with Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa. From Milan to Florence, passing through European museums, discover works by the greatest masters of this prolific period that shaped art history between the 15th and 16th centuries. Da Vinci's Last Supper in Milan, Raphael's School of Athens at the Vatican, Michelangelo's David in Florence, or Raphael's Sistine Madonna in Dresden testify to the creative genius of this era. The collection also includes sites linked to Leonardo da Vinci, such as the Saint-Hubert Chapel in Amboise where the artist is buried, and the monumental sculpture of Leonardo's Horse at San Siro Racecourse. Each artwork reveals technical innovations, mastery of perspective, and attention to the human figure characteristic of High Renaissance.
