Ken Burns’ New Documentary on Leonardo da Vinci Streaming On-line (in america) for a Restricted Time

A handy guide a rough heads up: The movie­mak­er Ken Burns has simply launched his new document­u­males­tary on Leonar­do da Vin­ci. Run­ning close to­ly 4 hours, the movie provides what The New York Instances calls a “thor­ough and engross­ing biog­ra­phy” of the Fifteenth-cen­tu­ry poly­math. Cur­hire­ly air­ing on PBS, the movie will also be streamed on-line thru Decem­ber seventeenth. Should you are living in america, you’ll be able to watch Phase 1 right here, and Phase 2 right here. The movie’s path­er seems above.

PS: As Metafil­ter observes, the PBS internet­website additionally fea­tures some great bonus mate­r­i­al, includ­ing three-D mod­els of Leonar­do’s inven­tions and a high-res gallery of a few of Leonar­do’s paintings fea­tured within the document­u­males­tary. Make sure you test them out.
