Dos paisajes, del norte y del sur: Zubiaurre, "Costa vasca al atardecer" y López Mezquita, "El embovedado", en los que el silencio y la belleza de la naturaleza resultan muy evocadores. Ambos en la planta dedicada al fin del XIX y sus caminos hacia la modernidad.

Q: What’s the weirdest item in your collection?

: Hands down, this 1746 collection of anatomical prints. Weird (read: unexpected) for us, anyway. https://t.co/Vcg4GjQ6d9

Leonardo’s drawings ranged across many subjects, but they were divided in the C16th. The Royal Collection is strong in anatomy, botany, maps, horses & studies for paintings. We have few of his inventions in engineering, which are now mostly in Milan.

Leonardo da Vinci was well off (not rich) and had horses and servants. He was probably gay and did not marry or have kids. I doubt he used cosmetics, but he was renowned for his love of fine clothes such as fur-lined cloaks and pink silk breeches.

Q: What is your favorite piece in the collection?
A: Right now, it’s the recently restored Japanese screen at Taliesin, “Pine Tree, Pheasant and Ducks.” But really, I don’t have favorites—I enjoy them all.
