ABOUT THIS PIECE

Renaissance Painter Leonardo Da Vinci's A Scene in an Arsenal was created in 1487 and the drawing is in Royal Collection London. The size of the work is 25 x 18,3 cm and is made with pen and ink on paper.

This drawing is the most formal of Leonardo’s military drawings from the period, its composition derived from a woodcut in Valturio showing a framework and pulley for hoisting a cannon on and off its bogey. The scene appears to be a military storeyard or arsenal with teams of nude men struggling with levers to take the weight of an enormous bombard, closely resembling the siege bombards that were a speciality of Ottoman foundries, such as the ‘Dardanelles Gun’ now at Fort Nelson, Portsmouth (and Leonardo has hardly exaggerated the size). Beyond are more gun barrels lying beneath a pitched roof against the wall of a fortress, with huge stone cannonballs, a mortar, ladders and lances.

The Artist: Leonardo da Vinci (1452 – 1519) was an Italian polymath of the Renaissance whose areas of interest included science and invention, drawing, painting, sculpture, architecture, music, mathematics, engineering, literature, anatomy, geology, astronomy, botany, paleontology, and cartography.
