I've been meaning to mention the Royal Collection's excellent initiative to take some 144 Leonardo drawings on the road next year, to mark the 500th anniversary of the artist's death. The drawings will be shown at 12 locations across the UK. I wonder if there's a prize for the first person to see all of them.
A Royal Collection source tells me that by a rough calculation, more than half the population will be within an hour's travel of a Leonardo show.
