A free exhibition showcasing 12 of Leonardo Da Vinci's drawings will go on display in the Ulster Museum next week.
Leonardo da Vinci: A Life in Drawing celebrates the 500th anniversay of the Renaissance artist’s death and opens on February 1, running until May 6.
The drawings represent the artist's interests and include painting, sculpture, architecture, anatomy, engineering, cartography, geology and botany.
Among the art on show is the head of St Anne and a drawing of a dissected skull.
National Museums NI’s Senior Curator of Art, Anne Stewart said beyond a handful of paintings most of Leonardo’s great projects were never completed.
"His surviving drawings are therefore our main source of knowledge of his extraordinary achievements. This exhibition at the Ulster Museum will highlight Leonardo’s exceptional intellect which allowed him to excel in a wide range of disciplines, noting him as one of the most diversely talented individuals ever to have lived,” she added.
