Sample some of da Vinci's genius

The Tsinghua University Art Museum is staging a show of pages from the Renaissance Man's Codex Atlanticus to mark its official opening. Lin Qi reports.

Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) is revered not only for such works as the Mona Lisa and The Last Supper, but the "Renaissance Man" is also famed for his work in engineering, optics, architecture, geometry and astronomy.

The scope and depth of Da Vinci's interests is celebrated through the Italian-language Codex Atlanticus (Atlantic Codex).
