Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) - Three Studies of Flora

Three botanical sketches by Leonardo. They each catch nature with the precision of exact scientific observation. But have also been conceived as a set of wonderfully balanced and unified interlocking forms. Which transmutes just exact representations into little works of art.


'Lilies'

'Botanical Study'

'Sedge'

Nothing more to be said! Just enjoy.
