He has long been praised as one of the finest artists of the
Renaissance, working far ahead of his time and producing some of the
world's most recognizable works. But Leonardo da Vinci has finally
received the credit he deserves for his medical accuracy hundreds of
years in advance of his peers, as scientists match his anatomical
drawings with modern day MRI scans.
The project, which will be unveiled at the Edinburgh International
Festival in August, compares the work directly for the very first time,
unveiling the minute details recorded by the artist. The comparison is
intended to show just
how accurate da Vinci was, despite his limited technology and lack of contemporary medical knowledge.
