For Leonardo da Vinci, water was an enduring fascination, appearing in myriad forms throughout his work.

A compelling account of Renaissance art and engineering, Watermarks shows, above all else, how Leonardo applied his pictorial genius to water in order to render the natural world in all its richness and constant change.
