Overview

Leonardo
Leonardo is the story of the most imaginative mind in human history as it's never been told before; a portrait of a genius of extraordinary diversity who lived a rollercoaster life of success and failure. This superb BBC drama documentary uses computer graphics and virtual reality, to enable the viewer to retread Leonardo's footsteps in Renaissance Italy, explore his works of art and analyse his remarkable inventions.

Mona Lisa
This companion film sets out to solve the mystery behind Mona Lisa's elusive smile; to find out who she was, what she meant to Leonardo, and why she is smiling. From the sublime to the ridiculous the life of this painting contains many extraordinary stories.

The Divine Michelangelo
Unveiling the man behind the myth. Five hundred years ago, Michelangelo created three of the art world's greatest icons: the statue of David, the painted ceiling of the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican and the dome of St Peter's in Rome. This revealing BBC drama documentary traces his development from angry young man to pride of Rome, considered more divine than human. But was he the original tortured artist or simply a cunning spin-doctor who skillfully moulded his own image?
