About the Series:
"Leonardo da Vinci," is a new, two-part, four-hour documentary directed by Ken Burns, Sarah Burns and David McMahon. 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. The film looks at how the artist influenced and inspired future generations, and it finds in his soaring imagination and profound intellect the foundation for a conversation we are still having today: what is our relationship with nature and what does it mean to be human.
Watch the premiere of "Leonardo da Vinci," a film by Ken Burns, Sarah Burns, and David McMahon on Nov. 18 and 19 at 8 p.m. on WCNY-TV.
