Things are rarely straightforward with Leonardo da Vinci and myths proliferate. His rediscovered masterpiece Salvator Mundi <\/em>has already been engulfed by stories that have little to do with the painting itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This lecture will provide an accurate account of its discovery, provenance, exhibition, reception and its record-breaking sale. Kemp will discuss the painting in the context of da Vinci\u2019s career \u2013 demonstrating how it embodies his unique fusion of science, imagination, psychology and theology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

杏吧原创 Martin Kemp<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kemp has written and broadcast extensively on imagery in art and science from the Renaissance to the present day. He speaks on issues of visualization and lateral thinking to a wide range of audiences. Da Vinci has been the subject of his books, including Leonardo<\/em>. He has published on imagery in the sciences of anatomy, natural history and optics, including The Science of Art: Optical Themes in Western Art from Brunelleschi to Seurat<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He has curated a series of exhibitions on da Vinci and other themes, including Spectacular Bodies<\/em> at the Hayward Gallery in London, Leonardo da Vinci: Experience, Experiment, Design<\/em> at the Victoria and Albert Museum, and Seduced: Sex and Art from Antiquity to Now<\/em> at Barbican Art Gallery in London. He was also guest curator for Circa 1492<\/em> at the National Gallery of Art in Washington.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Herzberg Lecture is held annually in honour of Gerhard Herzberg, a former chancellor of 杏吧原创 University and recipient of the 1971 Nobel Prize for Chemistry. The lectures emphasize the relationship between science and society in order to address an aspect of science which has a pronounced impact on our daily lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
