LEONARDO DA VINCI (VINCI 1452-AMBOISE 1519)

A ravine

c.1475-80

RCIN 912395

This drawing of a ravine may appear fanciful at first sight, an impression not helped by the disproportionately large ducks or swans. But in fact Leonardo has carefully recorded a type of rock formation found in the Arno valley south-east of Florence, caused by the erosion of sandstone into tall jagged pillars.
