Леонардо (2021)

Леонардо пытается привнести в свои рисунки реальность, какой он её видит, но сталкивается с непониманием со стороны других учеников и наставника. Но наставнику все же удаётся рассмотреть неординарный талант, который юный художник боялся показать миру и тот просит Леонардо помочь ему в выполнении важного поручения.

Достижения Леонардо начинают признавать, а его репутация — расти. Найдя неожиданного союзника он получает заказ на свадебный портрет Джиневры де Бенчи, а также на картину Поклонения волхвов для церкви. Стараясь передать в картинах своё видение мира он ставит на кон всё над чем работал.

Потеряв репутацию во Флоренции Леонардо отправляется в Милан, чтобы получить покровительство Людовико Сфорца. Тот не сразу, но всё же соглашается дать художнику второй шанс. Но к разочарованию Леонардо ему приходится работать над оформлением театральной постановки вместо живописи. Там он знакомится с актёром которой помогает ему освободить своё воображение и увидеть в постановке потенциал.

Леонардо получает заказ от Людовико Сфорца на скульптуру в честь его отца, чтобы увековечить величие рода Сфорца. Это ещё больше стимулирует амбиции художника и его стремление создать то, чего ещё никто до него не создавал. Слишком увлекшись новым проектом он отстраняется от Катерины, которая переживает нелегкий период в жизни, и тем самым отталкивает её.

Жена Людовико Сфорца умирает при родах и тот, желая почтить её память, заказывает Леонардо большую фреску Тайной вечери в Санта-Мария-делле-Грацие. Леонардо приходится бросить работу над скульптурой, что его сильно злит. Но вскоре он с головой уходит в работу над фреской, даже не замечая какой ценой она даётся.

Вернувшись во Флоренцию после многих лет в Милане, Леонардо предлагают новые возможности. Но вдохновение он находит лишь когда его просят нарисовать портрет Лизы Герардини, который станет Моной Лизой. После неудачной попытки наладить отношения с Катериной Леонардо принимает предложение отправиться в Имолу.

Помирившись с Катериной, Леонардо продолжает свою работу, но разочарован растущим успехом молодого художника Микеланджело Буонарроти. Отложив в сторону свои чувства, Леонардо убеждают принять новый заказ на гигантскую фреску битвы при Ангиари, но он оказывается в конкуренции со своим новым соперником.

Стефано наконец добирается до сути произошедшего с Катериной и решает спасти жизнь Леонардо ища помощи у неожиданного человека, пока жизнь великого творца весит на волоске.
