Learned so much and have gotten very inspired by the wealth of information. Looking forward to Sunday's "Il Cavallo: A Sculptural Homage to Leonardo da Vinci." Sculptor Nina Akamu talks about the creation of her giant 24-foot-high bronze horse in homage to Leonardo's unfinished Sforza monument. And was lucky enough to get a ticket for "Leonardo da Vinci versus Michelangelo: Battles in the Palazzo Vecchio, Florence." Julian Brooks, associate curator of drawings, the J. Paul Getty Museum, investigates the rivalry between Leonardo and Michelangelo, which was precipitated by their commissions in Florence, and the astonishing innovations that resulted. Thank you Julian and Anne-Lise for “Leonardo da Vinci and Renaissance Sculpture: Looking Closely”.

Sinai exhibition). What an absolute DELIGHT to be able to savor so many Leonardo drawings up close. Then you turn the corner and there are those breath-taking colossal Rustici bronzes! Thank you and your staff for a stunning set-up. More, please! This is one of the most exciting exhibitions that I’ve seen at the Getty (close runner up to the Mt. Sinai exhibition).
