SADDLEBROOKE FINE ARTS GUILD

Leonardo da Vinci, a new film by Ken Burns

will have a special preview at the Desert View Theater on November 7, from 4 to 6 pm. 

The documentary airs on

November 18^th and 19^th on PBS.

The SaddleBrooke Fine Arts Club is hosting this event which if free to attend and is open to SaddleBrooke residents, their families and friends.

The film, which explores the life and work of the 15th century polymath Leonardo da Vinci, is Burns’s first non-American subject. It also marks a significant change in the team’s filmmaking style, which includes using split screens with images, video and sound from different periods to further contextualize Leonardo’s art and scientific explorations.

Set against the rich and dynamic backdrop of Renaissance Italy, at a time of skepticism and freethinking, regional war and religious upheaval, LEONARDO da VINCI brings the artist’s towering achievements to life through his prolific personal notebooks, primary and secondary accounts of his life, and on-camera interviews with modern scholars, artists, engineers, inventors, and admirers.
