1
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:18,007
Driven by insatiable curiosity,
I approached the entrance to a large cave...

2
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:23,767
I immediately felt...

3
00:01:26,013 --> 00:01:27,434
Fear.

4
00:01:30,026 --> 00:01:31,543
And desire.

5
00:01:38,398 --> 00:01:41,758
The fear of darkness gathering over me.

6
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:48,959
And the desire to reveal
the wonders she hid.

7
00:01:58,809 --> 00:02:01,416
You were born in Vinci, in Tuscany.

8
00:02:01,439 --> 00:02:07,334
Saturday, April 15
1452, at three o'clock in the morning.

9
00:02:14,707 --> 00:02:20,141
Monsieur Pierrot's son
notary. Grandson of Mr. Antonio.

10
00:02:27,745 --> 00:02:30,721
Your name is Leonardo.

11
00:02:43,182 --> 00:02:45,390
Luca Argentero.

12
00:02:46,485 --> 00:02:48,501
Massimo De Lorenzo

13
00:02:48,654 --> 00:02:50,478
Angela Fontana.

14
00:02:50,747 --> 00:02:52,763
Francesco Pannofino.

15
00:03:04,879 --> 00:03:07,548
Cinematographer Daniele Cipri.

16
00:03:11,350 --> 00:03:14,038
Screenwriter Francesco Frigeri.

17
00:03:25,693 --> 00:03:28,304
Composer Matteo Curallo.

18
00:03:40,132 --> 00:03:43,569
Directed by Jesus Garces Lambert.

19
00:03:44,606 --> 00:03:48,849
Leonardo da Vinci. Unexplored worlds.

20
00:04:00,466 --> 00:04:05,093
This is the only place where
you are truly free.

21
00:04:10,124 --> 00:04:13,023
Camera obscura of your thoughts.

22
00:04:14,118 --> 00:04:17,113
Temple of your obsession.

23
00:04:19,091 --> 00:04:21,894
Loneliness friend.

24
00:04:25,523 --> 00:04:31,495
A timeless place where ideas take shape.

25
00:04:50,580 --> 00:04:58,261
Ask Maestro Antonio how to install
bombards and bastions day and night...

26
00:04:59,163 --> 00:05:01,559
Memories materialize.

27
00:05:01,583 --> 00:05:05,807
Learn how to multiply roots from Maestro Luca.

28
00:05:08,725 --> 00:05:14,966
Ask about the size of the sun
from maestro Giovanni Franzese...

29
00:05:15,945 --> 00:05:20,357
Your incredible thirst for knowledge comes to life.

30
00:05:20,380 --> 00:05:23,817
People, by nature, strive for knowledge.

31
00:05:24,316 --> 00:05:26,563
Clot is your mind.

32
00:05:28,982 --> 00:05:30,902
The mind of a genius.

33
00:05:32,630 --> 00:05:35,722
The Mind of Leonardo da Vinci.

34
00:05:42,788 --> 00:05:49,143
Can't you see that the eyes are the windows of the soul,
embrace the beauty of the whole world?

35
00:05:50,065 --> 00:05:53,828
Eyes that are so
necessary in all arts...

36
00:05:54,289 --> 00:05:56,459
They lead a person everywhere.

37
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:01,489
Measure the height and size of stars.

38
00:06:05,118 --> 00:06:12,760
In architecture, perspective and the divine
There is only one father of painting - the eye.

39
00:06:16,773 --> 00:06:19,961
After all, in order to understand
good enough to see.

40
00:06:24,627 --> 00:06:30,963
What do you see? Where is he looking?
your soul? What are you looking for, Leonardo?

41
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:42,541
You depicted the Arno Valley in a very important way
a drawing that has become a map of your emotions.

42
00:06:46,804 --> 00:06:52,430
There you learned to observe
explore and wonder.

43
00:06:52,852 --> 00:06:55,824
There, for the carefree child from Vinci...

44
00:06:55,847 --> 00:07:02,337
In August 1473, nature
still your close friend.

45
00:07:16,527 --> 00:07:20,521
Human mind
will never create anything better than nature.

46
00:07:21,500 --> 00:07:25,033
After all, there is enough of everything in it
and there is nothing superfluous.

47
00:07:26,089 --> 00:07:32,329
And the rest, that is, everything, is done
from nature - your great teacher.

48
00:07:40,451 --> 00:07:46,845
The water you touch in the river is the last thing,
what goes away and what comes first.

49
00:07:49,130 --> 00:07:51,530
Same with the present moment.

50
00:08:00,977 --> 00:08:07,793
Your childhood among Tuscan meadows
ends when you turn 10 years old.

51
00:08:08,350 --> 00:08:11,054
Your father is taking you to Florence.

52
00:08:11,077 --> 00:08:13,204
But you won't become a notary like him.

53
00:08:13,227 --> 00:08:16,837
He gives you to the maestro
Andrea del Verrocchio.

54
00:08:27,321 --> 00:08:30,662
- The leg is too thick.
- Yes, maestro.

55
00:08:31,218 --> 00:08:35,385
You are entering one of the best
workshops of his time.

56
00:08:38,323 --> 00:08:41,088
A real forge of talent.

57
00:08:41,606 --> 00:08:48,883
Pietro Perugino, Botticelli and many others,
They study there under the guidance of Maestro Verrocchio.

58
00:08:51,725 --> 00:08:55,220
We've been working too long
over "The Baptism of Christ".

59
00:08:57,063 --> 00:08:59,617
Who wrote the hands of the savior?

60
00:09:01,249 --> 00:09:04,705
Dove? This palm tree?

61
00:09:06,644 --> 00:09:09,332
Poorly done. Not bad at all.

62
00:09:11,521 --> 00:09:14,593
Perugino, how would you portray an angel?

63
00:09:16,686 --> 00:09:18,107
Are you Leonardo?

64
00:09:20,968 --> 00:09:28,649
Maestro Verrocchio, I would paint him alive
an angel with a face full of tenderness and grace.

65
00:09:31,740 --> 00:09:36,156
Mixing light and shadow
and shades of different colors.

66
00:09:36,579 --> 00:09:39,075
Okay, what about the decor?

67
00:09:40,207 --> 00:09:41,820
Light clothes...

68
00:09:43,433 --> 00:09:45,507
Developing in the wind.

69
00:09:46,659 --> 00:09:48,445
And the mountains in the depths?

70
00:09:50,077 --> 00:09:53,130
I would soften them on the horizon.

71
00:10:29,362 --> 00:10:36,290
Your angel is so beautiful and brave that Verrocchio
I didn’t want to touch the paints anymore.

72
00:10:36,313 --> 00:10:39,999
Ashamed that
the boy knew more than him.

73
00:10:59,603 --> 00:11:03,098
It's sad when a student
is not superior to the teacher.

74
00:11:09,646 --> 00:11:13,659
The artist, the owner of everything,
everything you can think of.

75
00:11:15,694 --> 00:11:22,625
If he wants to see the beauty that brings him
pleasure, he can create it from emptiness.

76
00:11:38,946 --> 00:11:41,289
Painting is a science.

77
00:11:41,711 --> 00:11:44,706
Daughter of nature and kin of God.

78
00:11:49,564 --> 00:11:57,245
And yet I'm not sure I understood how
give your figures movement and breath.

79
00:12:02,544 --> 00:12:07,402
Movement and breathing you
you will search all your life.

80
00:12:07,824 --> 00:12:10,685
Give soul to the depicted figures.

81
00:12:11,511 --> 00:12:16,365
In "Annunciation" you immortalized
that moment when the Virgin Mary...

82
00:12:16,388 --> 00:12:21,630
Receives news from Archangel Gabriel,
which will change her life forever.

83
00:12:24,472 --> 00:12:31,058
A raised hand, a gesture of fear, was enough for you
and consent to make the picture come alive.

84
00:12:33,246 --> 00:12:39,333
Flowers and plants are like bright lights,
celebrating the miracle birth of Christ.

85
00:12:43,442 --> 00:12:48,722
Water flowing from high
mountains, nourishes the flowering land.

86
00:12:49,567 --> 00:12:56,729
Everything is immersed in dim light,
which gives softness to faces and depth to the landscape.

87
00:13:17,351 --> 00:13:20,980
You have always been fascinated by the human body.

88
00:13:26,222 --> 00:13:31,060
Its proportions, anatomy, hidden mechanisms.

89
00:13:34,997 --> 00:13:38,948
You dissected more than 30 corpses with your own hands...

90
00:13:38,971 --> 00:13:44,463
To understand how it is born
and where the energy of life pulsates.

91
00:14:00,553 --> 00:14:03,587
Age is visible in the condition of the arteries.

92
00:14:06,755 --> 00:14:13,322
When I dissected the corpse of a two-year-old child,
what I found was completely different from what this man had.

93
00:14:14,109 --> 00:14:16,068
A hundred year old man...

94
00:14:17,335 --> 00:14:23,613
His veins and arteries are dry,
exhausted, lifeless.

95
00:14:30,987 --> 00:14:34,980
Heart is a seed from
which the tree of veins grows.

96
00:14:39,934 --> 00:14:42,392
This is the strongest muscle.

97
00:14:45,042 --> 00:14:47,691
Much more powerful than other muscles.

98
00:14:55,583 --> 00:14:58,770
I inform you, dear officers...

99
00:14:58,943 --> 00:15:03,624
About Jacopo
Saltarelli, 17 years old...

100
00:15:03,647 --> 00:15:09,485
Helps people who show their wretchedness
by means of the grave sin of sodomy.

101
00:15:10,483 --> 00:15:13,651
Among these people is Leonardo da Vinci.

102
00:15:23,098 --> 00:15:30,548
Arrest on sodomy charges after anonymous
statements will cast a shadow over your entire life.

103
00:15:34,023 --> 00:15:39,707
You refute it and look for scientific
explanation for sexual desire.

104
00:15:42,011 --> 00:15:48,136
Everything must be examined in detail,
even the secrets of your sensuality.

105
00:15:49,557 --> 00:15:52,072
Sometimes the penis has a mind of its own.

106
00:15:53,340 --> 00:15:58,793
If a man tries to excite him,
he is stubborn and does not give in.

107
00:15:59,388 --> 00:16:02,038
Sometimes it moves on its own.

108
00:16:04,591 --> 00:16:09,852
Without the permission and thoughts of a man.

109
00:16:18,301 --> 00:16:22,713
Exploring and painting is my only thing
reliable shelter.

110
00:16:22,736 --> 00:16:25,540
I must devote myself only to them.

111
00:16:27,248 --> 00:16:28,823
Only to them.

112
00:16:37,617 --> 00:16:43,147
Who does not know how to pacify his
wishes, let him live with animals.

113
00:17:05,036 --> 00:17:09,794
Pleasure and Displeasure
are depicted together.

114
00:17:09,817 --> 00:17:13,542
Because one is born from the other.

115
00:17:14,348 --> 00:17:19,187
Back to back as
they are opposite.

116
00:17:20,243 --> 00:17:26,272
But united by one body,
after all, they are born from the same source.

117
00:17:32,762 --> 00:17:37,889
If the figures do not reveal their bodies and
by the actions of their thoughts, they are twice dead.

118
00:17:38,849 --> 00:17:40,826
After all, painting is not alive.

119
00:17:51,233 --> 00:17:53,403
Hit yourself in the chest with a stone.

120
00:17:57,070 --> 00:17:58,415
Hit.

121
00:17:59,087 --> 00:18:02,639
This is a sin, a sentence.

122
00:18:02,888 --> 00:18:03,633
More.

123
00:18:03,656 --> 00:18:05,231
Repentance.

124
00:18:05,980 --> 00:18:06,993
More.

125
00:18:07,017 --> 00:18:08,591
Redemption.

126
00:18:13,314 --> 00:18:16,959
Perhaps in this work,
never completed...

127
00:18:16,982 --> 00:18:23,487
Where the penitent Saint Jerome punishes himself so that
purified and achieves mystical ecstasy...

128
00:18:23,510 --> 00:18:26,866
You expressed shame
the process that covered you.

129
00:18:26,890 --> 00:18:33,840
Exalting bodily suffering, with the help
painting - your teacher and comforter.

130
00:18:36,912 --> 00:18:40,522
Maybe the expression on his face is similar to yours.

131
00:18:49,815 --> 00:18:57,438
Take glass the size of half a sheet and fix it
it between the look and what you want to depict.

132
00:18:57,841 --> 00:19:04,654
You have a relentless desire to experiment,
discover, look for the hidden cause of events.

133
00:19:04,677 --> 00:19:07,384
That's the only way you can write.

134
00:19:11,148 --> 00:19:14,412
Move two-thirds of your arm away from the glass...

135
00:19:14,777 --> 00:19:16,908
And keep your head straight.

136
00:19:21,996 --> 00:19:24,128
Close one eye...

137
00:19:26,604 --> 00:19:29,581
And draw on the glass what you see.

138
00:19:32,461 --> 00:19:39,123
Finally, polish the glass, sprinkle with powder,
put down some good paper and sign it.

139
00:19:46,477 --> 00:19:54,158
In an attempt to combine all the knowledge, you don't
differences between waves of water, sound and light.

140
00:19:59,803 --> 00:20:05,751
Now you're trying to act powerful
a wave of emotions that unites the characters.

141
00:20:05,774 --> 00:20:10,148
Walking in concentric circles
from the Virgin and Child...

142
00:20:10,171 --> 00:20:15,985
And with a mystical power that embraces
witnesses to a supernatural event.

143
00:20:16,009 --> 00:20:19,292
Manifestation of the divine nature of Christ.

144
00:20:27,606 --> 00:20:33,693
"Adoration of the Magi" is a wonderful work,
remains, unfortunately, unfinished.

145
00:20:40,816 --> 00:20:46,116
At thirty your life
changes abruptly and unexpectedly.

146
00:20:51,799 --> 00:20:58,324
Disappointed with Lorenzo "The Magnificent" who sent
you to Milan on a mission as a musician.

147
00:20:58,347 --> 00:21:02,608
You offer your talents
Lodovico Sforza, nicknamed "The Moor".

148
00:21:02,609 --> 00:21:05,336
To the mighty ruler of Lombardy.

149
00:21:07,352 --> 00:21:12,363
You do it within your means
submitting the world's first resume.

150
00:21:12,671 --> 00:21:17,467
Except for your artistic gift,
you have no specific experience.

151
00:21:17,490 --> 00:21:21,215
The one you're talking about
to your future patron of the arts.

152
00:21:24,153 --> 00:21:26,534
Dear Sir...

153
00:21:28,281 --> 00:21:30,719
I don't beg for the merits of others...

154
00:21:32,255 --> 00:21:37,248
I'll try to open
Your Excellency...

155
00:21:39,149 --> 00:21:40,896
Your secrets.

156
00:21:42,413 --> 00:21:48,768
I designed bombards that were easy to transport,
capable of destroying the worst enemy.

157
00:21:59,329 --> 00:22:03,111
I'll build giant ones
crossbows of incredible power.

158
00:22:07,259 --> 00:22:11,214
And covered wagons. Reliable, unapproachable.

159
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:22,927
For sea battles I will make a powerful one
weapons for defense and attack.

160
00:22:29,186 --> 00:22:33,276
I am capable of building
strong and lightweight bridges.

161
00:22:35,215 --> 00:22:39,171
I can also create a bronze one
horse, in honor of your father.

162
00:22:40,899 --> 00:22:45,603
And in peacetime I'm not bad
I draw, no worse and no better than others.

163
00:23:03,038 --> 00:23:07,972
- Well, my son, are you leaving for Milan?
- Yes, my father.

164
00:23:09,297 --> 00:23:11,793
I want to see the beauty of the world.

165
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:16,152
Do you think that you are in the service of
Lodovico Moro Will you succeed?

166
00:23:17,553 --> 00:23:23,563
I can only hope. Lorenzo "The Magnificent"
thinks I'm not ready for Rome and the popes.

167
00:23:23,659 --> 00:23:31,340
You are unreliable and slow. You're getting lost in
endless research that bears no fruit.

168
00:23:33,663 --> 00:23:38,655
I'm slow in research because I don't
I am content with what lies on the surface.

169
00:23:49,542 --> 00:23:55,879
Anyone who does not appreciate the work insults
self-forgetfulness, skill and love of those who create them.

170
00:24:07,130 --> 00:24:13,332
Mr. Piero da Vinci, notary,
could not recognize the fruit of an extramarital relationship.

171
00:24:13,793 --> 00:24:18,670
The man who denied you an education
which you so deserve...

172
00:24:19,995 --> 00:24:24,507
The father you are not
no matter what, he loved.

173
00:24:50,909 --> 00:24:57,187
You come to Milan as a court artist,
but intends to fulfill his ambitions.

174
00:24:57,514 --> 00:25:00,851
Are you waiting for this opportunity?
and you don't want to miss it.

175
00:25:00,874 --> 00:25:05,156
You start with the last one
what you thought was your talent.

176
00:25:07,537 --> 00:25:10,186
Painting is based on perspective.

177
00:25:10,301 --> 00:25:14,334
And perspective is true
an image of what the eye sees.

178
00:25:15,851 --> 00:25:22,571
But I have another one
perspective. I call her "airy".

179
00:25:24,990 --> 00:25:29,963
If in painting you want to revive
distance between two subjects...

180
00:25:30,251 --> 00:25:33,362
We need to depict the density of the air.

181
00:25:35,282 --> 00:25:42,962
The air takes its blueness from moisture particles,
capable of catching the sun's rays.

182
00:25:47,071 --> 00:25:50,604
That's why mountains in the distance appear blue.

183
00:25:56,345 --> 00:26:01,606
You decide to try this guess.
in his first Milan order.

184
00:26:03,507 --> 00:26:09,940
You connect the individual parts of the composition, with
using the invention of aerial perspective.

185
00:26:14,145 --> 00:26:18,580
You're immersing Madonna in
rocks in lush vegetation.

186
00:26:19,002 --> 00:26:21,956
Against the backdrop of a dark and mysterious grotto...

187
00:26:21,979 --> 00:26:29,025
Where are Mary, the baby and John the Baptist
become part of a single space.

188
00:26:29,064 --> 00:26:34,786
Single organism breathing
in unison with the breath of the earth.

189
00:26:38,165 --> 00:26:44,175
Thanks to luck and merit, you live
under the patronage of Lodovico Moro.

190
00:26:47,669 --> 00:26:50,550
- Leonardo...
- My lord.

191
00:26:52,066 --> 00:26:58,921
I want my favorite to receive as a gift,
the most beautiful portrait that exists today.

192
00:26:59,305 --> 00:27:01,817
Don't worry, Your Excellency.

193
00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:06,083
My painting will express all the nobility
this divine beauty.

194
00:27:30,296 --> 00:27:34,366
Take the mirror and give
him to become your teacher.

195
00:27:36,459 --> 00:27:42,834
If you reflect the living thing in it and compare
reflected with what you drew...

196
00:27:43,583 --> 00:27:46,828
Then you will see if there are similarities between them.

197
00:27:59,577 --> 00:28:02,323
Never tilt your head towards your chest.

198
00:28:04,665 --> 00:28:08,198
If you portray beauty
in the right proportions...

199
00:28:09,869 --> 00:28:14,669
Then she will become immortal and you will love her.

200
00:28:14,707 --> 00:28:18,836
Time kills beauty and love too.

201
00:28:20,890 --> 00:28:24,903
But not eternal beauty,
recreated by the artist.

202
00:28:33,448 --> 00:28:36,631
Educated, beautiful and graceful...

203
00:28:36,654 --> 00:28:39,972
This is the favorite of Lodovico Moro, at 15 years old.

204
00:28:39,995 --> 00:28:43,086
Her name is Cecilia Gallerani.

205
00:28:46,523 --> 00:28:52,088
You depicted this lady with an ermine on
hands, a symbol of beauty and innocence...

206
00:28:52,111 --> 00:28:56,277
Showing the movement of thought,
namely, surprise.

207
00:28:58,274 --> 00:29:02,806
Forever immortalized
it's a passing expression.

208
00:29:46,546 --> 00:29:50,827
Illiterate. That's who I am to them.

209
00:29:52,037 --> 00:29:55,090
It's not for nothing that they accuse me. This is true.

210
00:29:58,104 --> 00:30:05,017
Who hides behind the power of others' thoughts,
does not use reason, but only memory.

211
00:30:07,513 --> 00:30:12,409
They're too stupid to understand
that my research is based on experience.

212
00:30:15,904 --> 00:30:18,285
I am a follower of experience.

213
00:30:19,648 --> 00:30:22,278
I choose him as my teacher.

214
00:30:31,437 --> 00:30:37,217
Four fingers make up a palm
and four palms make up the foot.

215
00:30:39,310 --> 00:30:43,073
This is how nature determined
human proportions.

216
00:30:43,995 --> 00:30:51,675
1, 6, 1, 8, 0, 3,3,9,
8, 8, 7, 4, 9, 8, 9...

217
00:30:56,591 --> 00:30:58,972
Divine proportion.

218
00:30:59,567 --> 00:31:07,247
1, 6, 1, 8, 0, 3, 3,
9, 8, 8, 7, 4, 9, 8, 9...

219
00:31:08,726 --> 00:31:10,392
Magic number.

220
00:31:10,415 --> 00:31:18,096
1, 6, 1, 8, 0, 3, 3,
9, 8, 8, 7, 4, 9, 8, 9...

221
00:31:19,824 --> 00:31:25,680
1, 6, 1, 8, 0, 3, 3,
9, 8, 8, 7, 4, 9, 8, 9...

222
00:31:26,582 --> 00:31:28,483
Magic number.

223
00:31:31,652 --> 00:31:36,202
Divine proportion or golden ratio.

224
00:31:36,548 --> 00:31:42,711
Magic number used by the ancients
Greeks, to calculate the proportion of temples.

225
00:31:43,345 --> 00:31:46,148
You have to study
as soon as you wake up.

226
00:31:46,398 --> 00:31:54,078
In nature it is found in the bends of waves,
in the spirals of shells, in the shapes of galaxies.

227
00:31:54,750 --> 00:31:57,669
Or until you fall asleep in bed, in the dark.

228
00:32:10,188 --> 00:32:12,838
Think about divine proportion.

229
00:32:14,988 --> 00:32:16,774
Get up, quickly!

230
00:32:16,927 --> 00:32:18,210
Get up.

231
00:32:18,233 --> 00:32:24,162
After studying the works of Vitruvius, you decided
explore the relationship of the golden ratio...

232
00:32:24,185 --> 00:32:28,026
And the ideal proportions of the human body.

233
00:32:31,078 --> 00:32:37,949
I wish to understand the universal proportions of man,
made of earth, air, water and fire...

234
00:32:37,972 --> 00:32:40,218
And similar to the body of the Earth.

235
00:32:41,773 --> 00:32:44,001
The world in miniature.

236
00:33:02,318 --> 00:33:04,815
The man opens his hands...

237
00:33:08,251 --> 00:33:10,460
To the height of your height.

238
00:33:21,270 --> 00:33:26,627
From hair roots to chin...

239
00:33:36,304 --> 00:33:39,050
A tenth of a person's height.

240
00:33:40,087 --> 00:33:41,431
Stop.

241
00:33:45,252 --> 00:33:52,356
Distance from chin to nose
and from horse hair to eyebrows...

242
00:33:56,446 --> 00:33:58,654
Equal to ear size.

243
00:33:59,691 --> 00:34:02,648
This is the third part of the face.

244
00:34:03,896 --> 00:34:05,816
Voltrafio, come here.

245
00:34:07,026 --> 00:34:08,370
Like this.

246
00:34:12,133 --> 00:34:18,585
You're out of proportion.
Now go away, leave me alone.

247
00:34:24,076 --> 00:34:26,572
An artist needs solitude.

248
00:34:26,879 --> 00:34:29,913
Alone you belong only to yourself.

249
00:34:33,734 --> 00:34:36,207
Four fingers make up the palm.

250
00:34:36,230 --> 00:34:38,842
Four palms make up a foot.

251
00:34:39,802 --> 00:34:41,526
The world in miniature.

252
00:34:41,549 --> 00:34:48,304
I wish to understand the universal proportions of man,
made of earth, air, water and fire.

253
00:34:48,327 --> 00:34:50,785
Divine proportion.

254
00:34:55,911 --> 00:34:58,369
From hair roots to chin...

255
00:34:58,503 --> 00:35:01,172
Opens his arms to a height...

256
00:35:01,249 --> 00:35:03,841
Equal to ear size...

257
00:35:08,699 --> 00:35:11,061
Divine proportion.

258
00:35:36,022 --> 00:35:43,242
I wish to understand the universal proportions of man,
made of earth, air, water and fire.

259
00:36:03,057 --> 00:36:05,649
Divine proportion.

260
00:36:13,502 --> 00:36:16,417
You have won an impossible battle.

261
00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:21,087
Showing the symbolic
unity of art and science.

262
00:36:21,624 --> 00:36:27,073
An image of a body of amazing beauty,
inscribed in two ideal forms.

263
00:36:27,097 --> 00:36:29,439
Circle and square.

264
00:36:30,053 --> 00:36:33,333
Masterpiece. Symbol of rebirth.

265
00:36:33,356 --> 00:36:37,734
Where they intertwine
human and divine.

266
00:36:37,983 --> 00:36:42,050
Harmonious forms,
reveal the ideal person.

267
00:36:42,073 --> 00:36:45,856
Becoming the center of nature and the universe.

268
00:36:57,991 --> 00:37:02,154
Fire is the king of the elements.

269
00:37:02,177 --> 00:37:08,129
To punish the water above him,
intensifies and makes it boil.

270
00:37:11,508 --> 00:37:17,019
Water showing its
reverence overflows.

271
00:37:18,075 --> 00:37:19,746
And falls down.

272
00:37:20,533 --> 00:37:24,315
He floods and extinguishes the fire.

273
00:37:24,968 --> 00:37:26,831
Your master.

274
00:37:38,735 --> 00:37:42,748
Giacomo was a ten-year-old child,
when he came to my workshop.

275
00:37:43,094 --> 00:37:46,396
It was July 1490.

276
00:37:48,489 --> 00:37:55,517
Already on the second day, I ordered him two
shirts, a warm jacket and pink socks.

277
00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:06,385
I left money, 4 liras,
to pay for clothes, in a bag.

278
00:38:07,095 --> 00:38:08,785
And he stole everything.

279
00:38:12,049 --> 00:38:18,097
Despite the fact that I knew about the theft,
he refused to admit his guilt.

280
00:38:20,017 --> 00:38:25,221
Thief, liar, greedy and stubborn.

281
00:38:25,547 --> 00:38:29,119
Rogue water like the devil
in "Morganta" by Pulci.

282
00:38:30,885 --> 00:38:33,976
I decided I'll call you Salai.

283
00:39:54,467 --> 00:40:01,168
Looks like... Looks like it's ready.

284
00:40:02,954 --> 00:40:07,408
Don't touch it, Salai. This bull's eye is not eaten.

285
00:40:07,715 --> 00:40:10,269
We will study its anatomy.

286
00:40:10,384 --> 00:40:14,225
It will harden, and when we
Let's cut it, it won't leak.

287
00:40:47,020 --> 00:40:48,364
Come here.

288
00:40:49,458 --> 00:40:50,802
Look.

289
00:40:52,530 --> 00:41:00,211
Any image, no matter how small,
hits the eye upside down.

290
00:41:05,145 --> 00:41:10,119
Then it turns over
and restores the real situation.

291
00:41:11,943 --> 00:41:16,244
Got it, Salai? This is how the eye works.

292
00:41:34,984 --> 00:41:36,961
Run to the guys.

293
00:41:38,210 --> 00:41:40,994
I have a lot of work. Go, Salai.

294
00:42:05,014 --> 00:42:09,622
It's time to contain
promise made to Lodovico Moro.

295
00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:14,115
Create the world's largest equestrian statue.

296
00:42:14,807 --> 00:42:19,891
A giant bronze horse,
to whom Moreau wanted to pay tribute to his father.

297
00:42:19,914 --> 00:42:22,007
Francesco Sforza.

298
00:42:26,980 --> 00:42:30,336
Moreau's desire fuels your ambition.

299
00:42:30,359 --> 00:42:33,335
You are dreaming about the impossible again.

300
00:42:33,566 --> 00:42:36,999
It's not enough for you to model
the shape of an ideal horse.

301
00:42:37,022 --> 00:42:40,613
Your creation must become perfect.

302
00:42:42,245 --> 00:42:46,104
A horse in the heat of a fierce battle.

303
00:42:47,045 --> 00:42:51,308
But how on two legs
hold such a mass of bronze?

304
00:42:53,400 --> 00:42:57,759
He won't be able to stand on
rearing, and therefore will walk.

305
00:42:58,565 --> 00:43:00,927
Four times more than usual.

306
00:43:02,022 --> 00:43:04,364
12 cubits high.

307
00:43:06,534 --> 00:43:08,588
One hundred tons of bronze.

308
00:43:32,993 --> 00:43:35,374
I'm not afraid of ancient myths.

309
00:43:55,055 --> 00:43:57,973
It's been 10 years, Leonardo.

310
00:43:58,434 --> 00:44:02,140
I, your master, have been waiting for 10 years.

311
00:44:04,578 --> 00:44:07,071
Where is the statue I paid for?

312
00:44:07,094 --> 00:44:10,031
- Listen, Your Excellency...
- No.

313
00:44:10,819 --> 00:44:12,566
I don't want to listen.

314
00:44:13,315 --> 00:44:16,786
My patience is over and so is your time.

315
00:44:16,809 --> 00:44:19,517
Please sir, I have found a solution.

316
00:44:20,035 --> 00:44:21,782
Take a look here.

317
00:44:23,184 --> 00:44:28,003
This is a frame for casting a head in bronze.

318
00:44:30,058 --> 00:44:33,664
There's no more time for
praises of the ancestors, Leonardo.

319
00:44:33,687 --> 00:44:37,105
Charles VIII, King of France,
knocks on the castle doors.

320
00:44:37,239 --> 00:44:40,926
Bronze for the horse will be used to cast cannons.

321
00:44:43,979 --> 00:44:47,454
You had your chance, but you missed it.

322
00:44:51,966 --> 00:44:58,015
Your dream is to compete with the greats
by the creators of antiquity turned into dust.

323
00:44:58,495 --> 00:45:01,912
Do they always interfere with you?
circumstances, Leonardo?

324
00:45:03,333 --> 00:45:08,863
What in the world or in yourself,
stopping you from finishing your work?

325
00:45:23,072 --> 00:45:26,835
I obey you
sir, and I ask for help.

326
00:45:27,238 --> 00:45:30,176
I have to admit that I found myself in need.

327
00:45:30,752 --> 00:45:35,303
I maintained 6 mouths for 36 months.

328
00:45:35,380 --> 00:45:37,584
And he received only 50 ducats.

329
00:45:37,607 --> 00:45:41,443
I won't talk about the horse anymore
I understand the state of things.

330
00:45:41,466 --> 00:45:44,458
I just want to obey
Your Excellency.

331
00:45:44,481 --> 00:45:48,551
This time I won't disappoint
you, my lord. I give you my word.

332
00:45:50,280 --> 00:45:52,599
And you will keep your promise.

333
00:45:52,622 --> 00:45:56,919
You will remove the wooden panels,
covering the plank room in the castle...

334
00:45:56,942 --> 00:45:59,339
And you will create magic.

335
00:45:59,362 --> 00:46:03,332
Having drawn tree trunks,
mulberry and blackberry bushes...

336
00:46:03,355 --> 00:46:05,905
You create the illusion of perspective.

337
00:46:05,928 --> 00:46:10,690
Going beyond the arches of the hall,
turning the internal into the external.

338
00:46:17,929 --> 00:46:21,400
Comprehend the sky and make it yours.

339
00:46:21,424 --> 00:46:24,400
Bypass the barriers imposed by nature.

340
00:46:24,668 --> 00:46:28,643
Dare that
no one has done it before you.

341
00:46:29,642 --> 00:46:34,807
Another obsession
seducing you and not letting you go.

342
00:46:36,746 --> 00:46:43,812
Thanks to tireless observation, you
you capture and depict a moment on paper.

343
00:46:44,215 --> 00:46:49,130
One thirtieth of a second
like the flap of a dragonfly's wings.

344
00:46:52,068 --> 00:46:54,833
Flying does not mean flapping your wings.

345
00:46:57,329 --> 00:47:02,379
When you understand what flying is,
then you will walk along the ground, peering into the sky.

346
00:47:02,840 --> 00:47:04,760
That's where you came from.

347
00:47:05,566 --> 00:47:08,005
And you will want to return there.

348
00:47:13,996 --> 00:47:17,410
Finally, in 1494...

349
00:47:17,433 --> 00:47:20,136
12 years after arriving in Milan...

350
00:47:20,159 --> 00:47:22,671
It's time to show off your talent.

351
00:47:22,694 --> 00:47:25,704
Lodovico More orders
a wall painting for you.

352
00:47:25,727 --> 00:47:28,988
A huge wall, 40 square meters...

353
00:47:29,011 --> 00:47:33,715
North wall of the refectory
Monastery of Santa Maria delle Grazie.

354
00:47:41,895 --> 00:47:46,522
I want the future
generations saw who I was.

355
00:47:55,873 --> 00:47:58,331
This will be a long battle.

356
00:48:03,112 --> 00:48:06,837
All my knowledge will come to my aid.

357
00:48:26,998 --> 00:48:29,667
You fill up your notebooks.

358
00:48:30,473 --> 00:48:34,467
Fascinating sketches of the apostles.

359
00:48:34,793 --> 00:48:39,133
Ocher, ink, sanguine.

360
00:48:49,194 --> 00:48:52,593
You will devote more than three years to this work.

361
00:48:52,900 --> 00:48:55,814
Making it more real than reality itself.

362
00:48:55,838 --> 00:48:58,890
Manifesto of Contemporary Art.

363
00:49:19,359 --> 00:49:24,812
The abbot of the monastery says that you are working
2 hours a day, sometimes you don’t write at all.

364
00:49:25,503 --> 00:49:27,404
Are you playing with us, Leonardo?

365
00:49:29,343 --> 00:49:31,647
The abbot speaks the truth.

366
00:49:33,395 --> 00:49:37,020
Before you take up your brush,
I have to present a picture.

367
00:49:37,043 --> 00:49:39,193
Only then can I write.

368
00:49:40,307 --> 00:49:44,186
Anyway, I don't see anything.

369
00:49:48,103 --> 00:49:52,653
Here, Your Excellency,
The only thing missing is Judas.

370
00:49:54,074 --> 00:49:58,797
If the abbot does not
If it calms down, I’ll paint his face.

371
00:50:01,217 --> 00:50:02,561
Fine.

372
00:50:03,578 --> 00:50:10,395
If you finish your work and make it a masterpiece,
you will get a vineyard near the monastery.

373
00:50:16,482 --> 00:50:20,068
You keep searching
faces and figures on the streets.

374
00:50:20,091 --> 00:50:23,198
Which will give life to your characters.

375
00:50:23,221 --> 00:50:30,901
For a year now, I go to Borghetto every day,
where the most vile and cowardly people live.

376
00:50:32,476 --> 00:50:36,086
Only to find a face to write Judas.

377
00:50:38,275 --> 00:50:45,437
Not beautiful, ugly, monstrous attracts
you are no less divinely beautiful.

378
00:50:54,999 --> 00:50:59,108
Here he is, your Judas. You found it.

379
00:51:05,386 --> 00:51:07,306
Friendly dinner.

380
00:51:09,131 --> 00:51:12,625
The family is established and united.

381
00:51:12,740 --> 00:51:14,906
Like yours, Leonardo.

382
00:51:14,929 --> 00:51:18,577
Where feelings go beyond
boundaries of consanguinity.

383
00:51:19,960 --> 00:51:24,165
12 men and their teacher.

384
00:51:25,547 --> 00:51:29,268
They appear in the form
apostles of the last supper.

385
00:51:29,292 --> 00:51:33,458
The faces of these people are you
immortalized in his notebooks.

386
00:51:48,723 --> 00:51:50,374
What are you drinking?

387
00:51:51,353 --> 00:51:55,078
Put your bag down and turn around.

388
00:52:08,826 --> 00:52:10,170
No.

389
00:52:13,281 --> 00:52:16,775
Don't look at him, look at the center.

390
00:52:19,425 --> 00:52:20,769
Like this.

391
00:52:25,166 --> 00:52:27,278
And you, turn here.

392
00:52:30,715 --> 00:52:33,269
Surprised, amazed.

393
00:52:52,489 --> 00:52:54,294
Place your hands on the table.

394
00:52:59,440 --> 00:53:00,938
Look into the distance.

395
00:53:11,249 --> 00:53:12,938
Open your palms.

396
00:53:15,934 --> 00:53:18,161
Open your mouth slightly in surprise.

397
00:53:24,996 --> 00:53:28,760
Whisper in his ear and you
listen to him.

398
00:53:47,366 --> 00:53:54,931
In truth, in truth I speak
to you: One of you will betray me.

399
00:53:57,504 --> 00:54:00,749
Look at each other
you don't know who I'm talking about.

400
00:54:01,421 --> 00:54:04,892
- Who will betray you?
- Maybe it’s me, teacher?

401
00:54:04,915 --> 00:54:07,580
- Who will betray you?
- Maybe it’s me, teacher?

402
00:54:07,603 --> 00:54:09,408
Maybe it's me, teacher?

403
00:54:11,098 --> 00:54:13,076
Who will betray you?

404
00:54:36,616 --> 00:54:40,068
A moment after the news of betrayal.

405
00:54:40,091 --> 00:54:42,434
Terrible confusion.

406
00:54:42,568 --> 00:54:47,349
Excitement in facial expressions
gestures, postures of the apostles...

407
00:54:47,522 --> 00:54:51,170
In response to the words spoken by Jesus.

408
00:54:52,207 --> 00:54:57,234
Instead of uniting
around the teacher, the students move away.

409
00:54:57,257 --> 00:55:00,172
It’s as if they want to leave him ahead of time.

410
00:55:00,195 --> 00:55:04,189
Scared by words
the one they loved so much.

411
00:55:04,477 --> 00:55:09,104
Bread and wine are harmoniously laid out on the table.

412
00:55:09,238 --> 00:55:12,042
Harbingers of Christ's sacrifice.

413
00:55:12,963 --> 00:55:19,088
Jesus accepts the inevitable
opening your arms to God and people.

414
00:55:19,338 --> 00:55:26,727
He accepts everyone, even Judas,
clutching in his hand the price of his curse.

415
00:55:26,750 --> 00:55:31,223
He alone is shrouded in the shadow of sin.

416
00:55:32,548 --> 00:55:38,021
Behind him, Peter clutches a knife,
ready to take revenge for the teacher.

417
00:55:40,498 --> 00:55:47,775
Only you, Leonardo, were able to portray human
feelings, in the form of a divine sacrament.

418
00:55:49,119 --> 00:55:54,414
Despite the fact that your secret
the supper has lost its brightness...

419
00:55:54,437 --> 00:55:56,719
Which you chose so carefully.

420
00:55:56,742 --> 00:56:02,137
Spectators, to this day,
Her beauty and grace are captivating.

421
00:56:03,059 --> 00:56:06,227
After all, your apostles are alive.

422
00:56:06,284 --> 00:56:09,453
They are human - that is us.

423
00:56:22,970 --> 00:56:28,250
After the overthrow of Lodovico Moro,
Milan falls into the hands of the French.

424
00:56:29,921 --> 00:56:36,948
Having lost your patron, you hide in Mantu
and Venice, and find refuge in Florence.

425
00:56:40,923 --> 00:56:44,932
You are improving your
works ad infinitum.

426
00:56:44,955 --> 00:56:47,643
And you just can’t complete them.

427
00:56:48,661 --> 00:56:54,056
Where others see perfection,
you keep looking for him.

428
00:57:08,092 --> 00:57:13,661
You receive a new order.
Saint Anne with Madonna and Child.

429
00:57:23,357 --> 00:57:28,288
In this monumental and, at the same time,
deeply intimate work...

430
00:57:28,311 --> 00:57:35,242
It is impossible to take your eyes off the gentle smile,
with which Madonna looks at the baby.

431
00:57:35,492 --> 00:57:40,235
Image of joy and harmony,
like in childhood memories.

432
00:58:01,682 --> 00:58:07,016
Caterina Buti del Vacca is your mother,
Mister Pierrot's maid...

433
00:58:07,039 --> 00:58:12,108
After your out-of-wedlock birth,
left you with your father's family.

434
00:58:12,454 --> 00:58:17,888
That's the only way she could be sure
that you will be raised and educated.

435
00:58:17,965 --> 00:58:22,627
She abandoned you, her son,
to give you a future.

436
00:58:22,650 --> 00:58:25,069
A gesture of true love.

437
00:58:34,420 --> 00:58:38,049
If the fetus could breathe
mother's womb, he would have died.

438
00:58:42,676 --> 00:58:48,129
He doesn't need breathing.
His life is supported by his mother's nutrition.

439
00:59:06,121 --> 00:59:08,674
Expenses for Katerina's funeral.

440
00:59:10,191 --> 00:59:14,258
The only page in
posts where you talk about your mother.

441
00:59:14,281 --> 00:59:19,907
Cold and indifferent list of expenses,
related to her funeral.

442
00:59:21,481 --> 00:59:24,861
Transportation and installation of the cross, 4 crowns.

443
00:59:29,008 --> 00:59:31,639
Transportation of a corpse - 8 crowns.

444
00:59:35,440 --> 00:59:39,165
4 priests and 4 singers - 20 crowns.

445
00:59:41,873 --> 00:59:49,553
Capable of perpetuating the finest subtleties in painting
movements of the soul, that's how you deal with emotions.

446
00:59:51,896 --> 00:59:54,507
You're afraid to be human.

447
00:59:54,968 --> 00:59:57,080
What are you protecting yourself from?

448
00:59:57,157 --> 00:59:59,845
Gravediggers - 16 crowns.

449
01:00:07,218 --> 01:00:10,847
You will paint dead men covered in ashes.

450
01:00:12,671 --> 01:00:16,511
With clenched teeth and
with wide eyes.

451
01:00:19,622 --> 01:00:24,940
You will write ashes mixed
with blood, turned into mud.

452
01:00:32,525 --> 01:00:39,798
In 1502, you spend several months
in the service of the terrible tyrant - Cesare Borgia.

453
01:00:39,821 --> 01:00:44,195
Appointment as chief architect
and the engineer flatters you.

454
01:00:44,218 --> 01:00:48,285
Do you dream of realizing
life of their military inventions.

455
01:00:48,308 --> 01:00:51,034
But the reality is chilling.

456
01:00:52,763 --> 01:00:55,528
I figured out how to survive underwater.

457
01:00:57,409 --> 01:00:59,790
But I don't want to leave the drawings.

458
01:01:00,347 --> 01:01:03,592
To avoid putting them
in the service of human evil.

459
01:01:05,109 --> 01:01:12,789
Otherwise, they will take over
and sink the ships with all the people on board.

460
01:01:17,762 --> 01:01:21,944
Youthful fantasies
turn into cruel reality.

461
01:01:21,967 --> 01:01:25,807
You can't stand it and you run away.

462
01:01:27,286 --> 01:01:29,705
Save me from discord.

463
01:01:32,201 --> 01:01:35,235
War is brutal madness.

464
01:01:39,690 --> 01:01:45,369
When in Florence, Gonfaloniere Piero Soderini
orders you "The Battle of Anghiari"...

465
01:01:45,392 --> 01:01:48,810
In the great council hall
in the Palace of the Signoria...

466
01:01:48,849 --> 01:01:52,458
You are portraying what
I saw and what amazed you.

467
01:01:55,108 --> 01:02:02,059
Perhaps only by expressing the horror you were
witness, you will be able to free yourself from it.

468
01:02:10,757 --> 01:02:14,040
To work in the palace I
I chose old technology.

469
01:02:14,885 --> 01:02:19,455
Resin and pigment,
mixed with linseed oil.

470
01:02:23,372 --> 01:02:27,846
The heat from the smoldering coals must
was to fix the paint forever.

471
01:02:30,495 --> 01:02:34,293
But below the fire dried out the paints...

472
01:02:34,316 --> 01:02:40,557
And at the top because of the big
distances, the heat did not reach.

473
01:02:40,806 --> 01:02:43,379
And the paint began to come off.

474
01:03:00,007 --> 01:03:04,097
"Battle of Angiaria"
dissolves before your eyes.

475
01:03:06,920 --> 01:03:10,453
Bringing desperate fighters into oblivion...

476
01:03:12,834 --> 01:03:15,522
And getting lost forever.

477
01:03:24,680 --> 01:03:32,361
July 9, 1504, Wednesday, at
Piero da Vinci died at 7 am.

478
01:03:33,167 --> 01:03:35,491
At the age of 80 years.

479
01:03:36,067 --> 01:03:40,425
Notary of the Palazzo del Podesta, my father.

480
01:03:41,501 --> 01:03:44,534
Piero da Vinci is your father.

481
01:03:44,707 --> 01:03:50,717
Father, even on the verge of death,
who did not recognize you as his son.

482
01:03:51,216 --> 01:03:56,324
Leaving you nothing
except for the shadow of a memory of him.

483
01:04:16,849 --> 01:04:22,245
At that time, you didn't know about it yet,
but you had a lot to thank him for.

484
01:04:22,303 --> 01:04:26,431
For one important meeting,
which will take place later.

485
01:04:27,756 --> 01:04:34,630
Maestro Leonardo, what is this?
for the person who came to you?

486
01:04:38,681 --> 01:04:43,884
Salai, it was Mr.
Francesco del Giocondo.

487
01:04:44,211 --> 01:04:47,106
His father, a notary, sent him to me.

488
01:04:47,129 --> 01:04:54,810
His third wife, Lisa Gherardini, just gave birth
he has a son and he wants me to paint her portrait.

489
01:04:58,362 --> 01:05:00,704
Have you taken any deposit?

490
01:05:01,588 --> 01:05:04,295
I don't work for money, Salai.

491
01:05:05,178 --> 01:05:07,444
So we'll eat the picture.

492
01:05:11,111 --> 01:05:15,908
It was February 17, 1497.

493
01:05:15,931 --> 01:05:19,844
This is how the story begins about
the most famous painting in the world.

494
01:05:19,867 --> 01:05:22,455
Who is actually depicted on it?

495
01:05:22,478 --> 01:05:30,159
Who occupied your thoughts for more than 10 years and made you
turn a woman's portrait into a perfect timeless image?

496
01:05:57,040 --> 01:05:59,632
I will never return to Florence again.

497
01:05:59,824 --> 01:06:02,378
Now the French own Milan.

498
01:06:06,295 --> 01:06:10,208
Yes, Leonardo, more
nothing is holding you back.

499
01:06:10,231 --> 01:06:14,605
King Louis of France
XII calls you to Milan.

500
01:06:14,628 --> 01:06:17,812
You are reviving the best courts in Europe.

501
01:06:17,835 --> 01:06:23,480
At the same time, you are doing research.
that you can't refuse.

502
01:06:33,426 --> 01:06:35,288
Maestro Leonardo...

503
01:06:38,360 --> 01:06:40,185
Maestro Leonardo.

504
01:06:41,625 --> 01:06:45,480
My name is Francesco
Melzi, my father sent me.

505
01:06:45,503 --> 01:06:50,207
Gerolamo Melzi. He
hopes that I will be useful to you.

506
01:06:52,646 --> 01:06:57,849
- Who are you?
- Francesco Melzi, my father sent me.

507
01:06:58,118 --> 01:07:02,458
Gerolamo Melzi. He
hopes that I will be useful to you.

508
01:07:04,723 --> 01:07:07,316
I want to be your student.

509
01:07:09,178 --> 01:07:13,460
Secretary and copyist.

510
01:07:15,745 --> 01:07:18,855
To serve you, Maestro Leonardo.

511
01:07:24,347 --> 01:07:28,091
Your father gives me
great service, son.

512
01:07:29,051 --> 01:07:33,717
Light, darkness. Color and body...

513
01:07:34,888 --> 01:07:36,232
Write.

514
01:07:37,615 --> 01:07:40,149
Figure, place...

515
01:07:41,704 --> 01:07:45,391
Remoteness, proximity.

516
01:07:48,118 --> 01:07:50,210
Movement and rest.

517
01:07:50,441 --> 01:07:54,089
Books in which I write
about painting, it will be 10.

518
01:07:56,336 --> 01:07:59,984
Wisdom is the daughter of experience.

519
01:08:02,960 --> 01:08:04,304
Is everything clear?

520
01:08:05,533 --> 01:08:08,605
- Yes, Maestro Leonardo.
- Fine.

521
01:08:16,401 --> 01:08:21,182
Let's begin. I need
sort through a whole pile of papers.

522
01:08:21,719 --> 01:08:24,599
The result of my whole life.

523
01:08:56,319 --> 01:09:00,121
Maestro, look.

524
01:09:03,904 --> 01:09:08,704
Here are the works of your genius. Are you satisfied?

525
01:09:15,808 --> 01:09:18,089
Everything is in these papers.

526
01:09:18,112 --> 01:09:21,530
A life spent understanding the world.

527
01:09:23,796 --> 01:09:31,476
They talk about you too. You, Leonardo, don't
only a scientist-artist, you are also a human being.

528
01:09:45,973 --> 01:09:48,757
Salai, soften your hand. Higher up.

529
01:09:49,487 --> 01:09:53,884
Point it out. That's it, don't move.

530
01:09:59,644 --> 01:10:02,678
Maestro, how much longer?

531
01:10:04,598 --> 01:10:08,607
Your tongue will be parched with thirst
and the body is from hunger and fatigue...

532
01:10:08,630 --> 01:10:13,910
Before you put it into words,
what the artist expresses in an instant.

533
01:10:16,656 --> 01:10:19,747
Be patient, Salai. Be patient.

534
01:10:26,986 --> 01:10:29,117
Salai, Salai...

535
01:10:29,194 --> 01:10:34,202
Street boy, disarming beauty,
stole your heart.

536
01:10:34,225 --> 01:10:39,233
Constant theft, lies, betrayal.
He makes you angry and torments you.

537
01:10:39,256 --> 01:10:42,885
But every time he deserves your forgiveness.

538
01:10:44,497 --> 01:10:48,487
Salai's face is recognizable
in many of your works.

539
01:10:48,510 --> 01:10:52,811
But in John the Baptist you wrote his soul.

540
01:10:55,576 --> 01:10:58,222
A beautiful and mysterious creation.

541
01:10:58,245 --> 01:11:04,390
Androgynous and dual.
A holy and evil angel at the same time.

542
01:11:07,020 --> 01:11:13,356
In this gesture pointing to the sky,
you put hope in such a place...

543
01:11:13,452 --> 01:11:16,429
Where happiness will not break into fragments.

544
01:11:24,743 --> 01:11:26,486
65 years...

545
01:11:26,509 --> 01:11:32,922
Having abandoned the dream of moving to Papal Rome,
where Michelangelo and Raphael shone...

546
01:11:33,421 --> 01:11:37,527
Do you still want to change?
learn and develop.

547
01:11:37,550 --> 01:11:43,037
The French court awaits you, where
King Francis I called you to serve.

548
01:11:43,060 --> 01:11:47,361
Promising to put you in a castle,
not far from your own.

549
01:11:58,882 --> 01:12:01,877
French kingdom
not for me, Leonardo.

550
01:12:02,396 --> 01:12:04,642
I will be much better in Milan.

551
01:12:13,878 --> 01:12:15,644
Stay, Salai.

552
01:12:18,256 --> 01:12:21,885
You will get used to this land
you just need to be patient.

553
01:12:23,133 --> 01:12:30,429
The King of France appointed me chief
artist, engineer, architect.

554
01:12:38,781 --> 01:12:41,335
I can't refuse this.

555
01:12:48,708 --> 01:12:51,838
Farewell, maestro.

556
01:13:02,552 --> 01:13:04,933
Feelings belong to the earth.

557
01:13:05,317 --> 01:13:09,791
In the moment of contemplation,
reason is beyond the senses.

558
01:13:21,772 --> 01:13:28,124
Salai left you. But you know
what does it mean to live in the absence of someone.

559
01:13:28,147 --> 01:13:33,293
Nostalgia comes alive
and the immortal companion of your painting.

560
01:13:35,770 --> 01:13:38,400
This is the mystery of the soul.

561
01:13:38,458 --> 01:13:42,932
The finest vibration of light
around dark curls.

562
01:13:45,313 --> 01:13:48,635
Only a slight smile on the woman's face.

563
01:13:48,807 --> 01:13:54,280
It's so hard to call her in reality
and cannot be expressed in painting.

564
01:13:55,835 --> 01:14:00,170
Serene and melancholic,
near and far...

565
01:14:00,194 --> 01:14:02,571
Mother and stranger.

566
01:14:02,594 --> 01:14:07,048
"La Gioconda" remains
an elusive and unrealistic dream.

567
01:14:08,335 --> 01:14:14,782
This woman, watching us from everywhere,
It's like he's flirting with us.

568
01:14:14,805 --> 01:14:20,370
Calmly watches us try
unravel it over the centuries...

569
01:14:20,393 --> 01:14:22,789
While the world and nature are changing.

570
01:14:22,812 --> 01:14:28,477
After all, it was you who taught us, Leonardo,
that painting makes it eternal.

571
01:14:32,144 --> 01:14:35,193
Now you have everything you wanted.

572
01:14:35,216 --> 01:14:42,896
A patron who appreciates your talent, high salary,
time and freedom for research and painting.

573
01:14:47,025 --> 01:14:50,131
You have finally found your home.

574
01:14:50,154 --> 01:14:56,395
But you can't get rid of the thoughts that
swirling around in your head like whirlwind storms.

575
01:15:00,715 --> 01:15:03,461
Why don't you find peace?

576
01:15:05,458 --> 01:15:08,818
What fears are hidden in your storms?

577
01:15:12,331 --> 01:15:13,772
Darkness.

578
01:15:15,154 --> 01:15:17,938
Wind, storm.

579
01:15:18,764 --> 01:15:20,377
Shower.

580
01:15:21,759 --> 01:15:23,986
Burning forests.

581
01:15:26,118 --> 01:15:27,500
Rain.

582
01:15:29,824 --> 01:15:37,062
Lightning, earthquakes,
falling mountains, destroyed cities.

583
01:15:39,443 --> 01:15:42,320
Even nature becomes hostile.

584
01:15:42,343 --> 01:15:46,471
You paint her as cruel
destructive, uncontrollable.

585
01:15:47,642 --> 01:15:51,267
The more you know
the more you want to know.

586
01:15:51,290 --> 01:15:57,895
But to a man, even a great one,
not to decipher the picture of the world.

587
01:15:58,817 --> 01:16:00,795
I know a lot.

588
01:16:04,520 --> 01:16:06,958
But I don't know even more.

589
01:16:26,274 --> 01:16:28,041
The years go by.

590
01:16:29,711 --> 01:16:34,396
And there is... little time left.

591
01:16:41,424 --> 01:16:43,728
When will I learn to live.

592
01:16:46,359 --> 01:16:48,336
I will learn to die.

593
01:16:54,020 --> 01:17:00,010
How well spent
day brings restful sleep...

594
01:17:03,447 --> 01:17:06,040
So is a life well lived...

595
01:17:08,612 --> 01:17:10,917
Brings a peaceful death.

596
01:17:11,646 --> 01:17:13,182
And so on.

597
01:17:16,120 --> 01:17:18,674
I pause because the soup is getting cold.
