SYNOPSIS

Art critic Alastair Sooke views The Mechanics of Man, a new exhibition of Leonardo da Vinci's anatomical drawings at the Queen's Gallery in the Palace of Holyroodhouse. Alastair compares the sketches to the state-of-the art modern medical imagery also on display, to examine just how close the Renaissance master's work was to the real thing.
