This exhibition brings together the widest range of drawings from this revolutionary artistic period ever to be shown in the UK. Exploring the diversity and accomplishment of drawing across Italy between 1450 and 1600, the exhibition will feature around 160 works by over 80 artists such as Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Raphael and Titian alongside lesser-known artists, all drawn from the Royal Collection, which holds one of the world's greatest collections of Italian Renaissance drawings.

This sounds like an absolutely wonderful exhibition which will be well worth visiting. The Royal Collection holds some fabulous Renaissance art, especially the Leonardo cartoons.
