At the British National Gallery, some of Leonardo's stuff. I took a bunch if photos to show size and scale as well as the revisions. Too much to write about here, but scroll through the pics and let me know what you think?
It was a great experience. The curators have it installed in a tiny darkened room that felt chapel like. It was directly behind the wall in which the British version of the "Madonna of the Rocks" was hung. (There are two versions, one also in the Louvre.)
The Louvre also has version of the "Madonna with St. Anne."
For me, it gave a glimpse into how Leonardo reuses his poses and compositions. Also, gave me a bit of insight into how cartoons were used to map out and plan his paintings.
The reuse of even the poses of the hands. It was cool to see his corrections and revisions of smaller elements of hands and feet.
