"Copying Leonardo is almost impossible"

Ahead of our Michelangelo, Leonardo, Raphael exhibition, artist Adebanji Alade went to see some of Leonardo's battle drawings at Royal Collection Trust. To find out more about their composition and approach, Adebanji brought his pencils.

This film has been made in collaboration with Royal Collection Trust to coincide with their exhibition ‘Drawing the Italian Renaissance’.
