Drawing of a palace with porticoes
Where: Manuscript
B, folio 36 Year: 1497-1490
The folio, probably dating from between 1487 and
1490, contains the drawing of an elegant palace. In the short note,
in the top right-hand corner, Leonardo explains that the width of
the roads around it must be equal to the height of the 'palazzo'
itself. The latter should be designed with porticoes and large windows
on all floors. On the lower part of the folio, there are three other
drawings of various subjects: a lever lifting a weight, a lever
and cart with an annotation.
