Take a closer look into the life of a multi-talented renaissance man whose vivid paintings and remarkable imagination have endured to inspire and mystify even five centuries after his death in a documentary that aims to create an accurate portrait of the notoriously private Leonardo Da Vinci. In piecing together the many clues left behind in Da Vinci's diary and hidden in his many masterpieces, filmmakers seek to find the answer to what drove Da Vinci's genius while offering valuable insight into his prolific legacy. By offering intimate interviews with the individuals entrusted with preserving Da Vinci's rich legacy as well as the musicians, artists, and inventors who have been influenced by his remarkable body of work, filmmakers show just why Da Vinci is known as one of the greatest creative minds ever.
