Another Venice image: From an exhibit of mockups and models from drawings of Leonardo da Vinci, which is open daily in Chiesa di San Barnaba, Campo San Barnaba, Dorsoduro [Ca’ Rezzonico]. Fascinating collection of machines and models. This one suggests that Leonardo had considered the possibility of robots, apparently. “An exhibit which presents over 30 models of mechanical, building, flying and war machines, exactly reproduced from Leonardo da Vinci’s codices…”
