Renaissance Art Exposed: Leonardo da Vinci and the Secrets of Drawing
Victor Coonin, Ph.D., Thomas P. Johnson Distinguished Visiting Scholar, Professor of Art and Art History, Rhodes College, presents specific examples that give insights into why and how drawings were made in Renaissance Italy. Using works by Leonardo da Vinci and other Italian Renaissance artists, Professor Coonin reveals markings and other evidence of the artist’s hand never intended to be seen and techniques that may seem rather primitive to a modern audience. He also shows the varied ways in which drawings functioned at the time, from preparatory studies for paintings to independent works of art.
This lecture compliments the exhibition “Drawing Connections. Inside the Minds of Italian Masters: A Selection from the John Mica Collection” on view through May 9, 2021.

It's rare to find such informative and interesting art videos here on YT. Thanks!
A very interesting lecture --and one which made clear to me at least , that these artists ,first, spent years learning how to use the tools and materiels -- and developing the skills needed-- to create their art . It was not their "Imagination and creativity " alone, that made them great artists -- but that ,combined with their great craftsmanship . Something many modern "artists" , I suspect, do not appreciate.
SO exciting to see the exploration of materials and THE SCIENCE of art given its due. FINALLY!!! ,Beautifully done here. Thank you so much!

The science? THE SCIENCE is being used to mangle the truth... just like a certain virus we are experiencing. It's not your fault you are believing. These "people" prey on our honesty. This guy is carrying their water.

@ 19:54 How about the image was traced (rubbed over with charcoal), then drawn in and highlighted, THEN grid lines were drawn over the image?

Nice fellow! But why do they slide in these useless comments obstructing the view and leave them for a whole minute?? An do we have to look at his talking head ALL the time,albeit in the lower corner?! Very amateurish,it could have been such agreat video!
Why don't you guys ever show the art of and discuss the art of the people whom were famous during the renaissance. Yes, Michaelangelo and Leo, but also Artemisia Gentilesci, Sofonisba, Patula Nelli, Lavinia Fontana, Fede Galizia, etc etc etc. These women are far far far more interesting, talented, skilled than Michaelangelo, Leonardo and Raphael. For they weren't allowed to learn or study art and yet, they were now famous and more sought after during their lifetime than any male artist of the renaissance. The ONLY reason Michaelangelo painted the Sistine was because he got caught stealing from the pope. He had two choices, paint or prison.
As if you need a chemist to follow a recipe. Only in liberal universities would one need a chemist to follow a tried and proven millenia old recipe.
Interesting and very informative lekture. I love to draw and have always done so and still do. And I have always ben very curious abort differentiere styles and techniques and Wayne of drawing from Classica to somatic, intuitive and Munch more. I have the deep femling that. drawing is a kind of embodied observing- seeing-feeling-touching-xperiencing - knowing- expressing. It is a basic practice of relating deeply into the process of an embodied knowledge 😊🎶🩶🎵
