Later in the year, from May 24 until October 13, an exhibition of over 200 da Vinci drawings will go on display in the Queen's Gallery at Buckingham Palace in London. On November 22 until March 15, 2020, an exhibition of 80 of the drawings will be held in the Queen's Gallery at the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh.
Xanthe Brooke, curator of European Art, National Museums Liverpool, said: "Leonardo da Vinci is undoubtedly one of the most renowned and influential artists in history, having left a major impact within the disciples of both art and science. We're honored to be part of this wonderful showcase of drawings, creating a very special moment in the Walker's history.
"Through the exhibition and the lively events program accompanying it, we look forward to revealing more about the man behind the art and exploring the breadth of subjects that inspired him."
Drawings on show at the Walker in Liverpool will include The head of Leda, depicting Leda from Leda and the Swan, a popular story from Greek mythology. Also on display will be the artist's metal-point study of a horse, which was used to help him to build a clay model for a large bronze monument commissioned by the ruler of Milan.
Da Vinci was born near Florence in 1452 as the illegitimate son of a young lawyer and a teenage peasant girl. He began working as a painter at the age of 20, and would famously go on to paint such masterpieces as The Last Supper and the Mona Lisa.
