26 works across 4 institutions
London holds 26 works by Leonardo da Vinci across 4 institutions, including National Gallery, British Museum, and 2 other venues.
Fewer than twenty paintings are confidently attributed to Leonardo, making any encounter with an original a rare event. His sfumato technique — almost imperceptible gradations of tone that give his figures their mysterious quality — is something that only becomes fully apparent when standing before the actual canvas.
