00:28The discoverers
00:30They offer us all the guarantees of happiness
00:32An exemplary light
00:36Who enlightens, who prospers
00:38And opens the way to the dreams of humans
00:42They found levers to lift the world
00:47And thanks to them, the Earth wanted to play ring-around-the-rosie
00:52Turn, turn, all the wheels of locomotion
00:57And cars following each other in a line
01:00And they march by, then quickly speed away
01:02The discoverers
01:04I'm already dreaming of other pipe dreams.
01:06So that we may progress in the wisdom of our old age
01:13The discoverers
01:18The discoverers
01:25I am now going to tell you the story of a brilliant jack-of-all-trades.
01:28From the only man who could say
01:29These easy things, like being universal
01:32Some found it amusing to suggest that Leonardo da Vinci
01:35Because it is indeed him we are talking about
01:36It must have been an ancestral home
01:38Frankly, I don't really see how
01:40Although, when I think of his last statue in Blois
01:43I sometimes wonder...
01:45Okay, we're in Italy at the end of the 15th century
01:47At that time, it consisted of a multitude of small states
01:50The brightest, Florence
01:51That which is governed by Lorenzo de' Medici, called the magnificent
01:54Those who consider science and art as a means of power
01:56Gunpowder and cannons made castles useless.
01:59Which become out of bounds
02:01Gutenberg has just printed his first book
02:03Soon, Columbus will discover America
02:05The artists are pampered.
02:07Except for the greatest of all
02:09Leonardo da Vinci
02:10Who will leave Florence, the ungrateful one?
02:12For Milan, where he hopes for the protection of the local ruler.
02:15Ludovico Sforza, known as the dead man
02:21And I demand, Uncle, that this celebration in honor of my 11th birthday
02:24Perhaps the most beautiful one we've ever seen in Milan
02:28Gian Galeazzo, my dear nephew
02:30You know very well that I have nothing to refuse you
02:33Go now
02:43Damn, this young man is starting to take himself too seriously.
02:46He's the Ducantide, isn't he?
02:51Oh, Assigue!
02:55If he continues like this, he won't live to a ripe old age.
02:57And in my opinion, neither does his advisor.
03:00Come on, Ludovic, everyone knows you're the boss
03:03You can do whatever you want with that kid.
03:05Do you see yourself in this kind of situation?
03:08Yes
03:10My lord, a Mr. Leonardo da Vinci requests an audience
03:13Yes, that crazy guy
03:14Is that him?
03:16Let's see him again
03:17Yes, yes, let's see him again.
03:20I have a protégé who knows how to do it much better.
03:22But it was Lorenzo de' Medici who recommended it.
03:24And his knowledge of art is undeniable, Ludovic.
03:29Let's admit
03:29But this Da Vinci who is speaking to me
03:32Listen to what he wrote to me.
03:33Most illustrious lord
03:36Ah yes, listen
03:37I have plans for strong and lightweight bridges.
03:39Easy to carry
03:41And for a single seat
03:43I know how to build bridges, battering rams
03:46Climbing ladders, etc. etc.
03:49I have mortar plans
03:50To send piraillas like hail
03:53I have shoes for walking on water
03:56Diving suits
03:59But he's crazy, he's completely crazy
04:01I can build tanks
04:02Who would destroy the enemy troops
04:04Without suffering damage
04:06He's crazy, he's crazy
04:08It can supply catapults
04:10War machines
04:11He is a good architect
04:12He makes music, he sculpts
04:14Painting
04:16He's crazy, he's crazy
04:17I've done the math; this genius excels in 36 subjects.
04:21A madman, yes
04:22Absolutely insane, a raving lunatic
04:26While my young protégé
04:31With artists, you never know.
04:34And what do you risk by seeing this genius?
04:37To waste fifteen minutes?
04:39Or maybe to see your house
04:41To become the equal of the Medici family
04:42Ferrars and Visconti
04:44Who knows?
04:46This handyman can be funny
04:48Let's bring him in
05:00And see, lord, during an attack
05:02A rider harnessed in this way
05:05Sees its offensive power triple
05:06And here, look at this ballista
05:09It will have firepower
05:11Never seen
05:11And its wheels tilted here
05:13will give it excellent stability
05:17You also talked to me about painting
05:19And sculpture
05:21I believe that in painting
05:22I can do just as well as anyone else
05:26This is a painting that dates back a few years already.
05:29That was my beginning
05:32Portraits, yes, yes, of course
05:35Here is Ginevra Benchy's
05:37Not very successful, but there are some good things.
05:40The chiaroscuro, the landscape
05:42Yes, yes, yes, I'm working on other paintings
05:45Oh, nothing too important
05:46See this work in progress
05:48All of this is not over yet, of course.
05:49But if that interests you
05:52This is the work involved in setting up the characters.
05:54And here, the study of perspective
05:57But tell me, Mr. Benchy
05:59How did you acquire all these talents?
06:01Oh, it's a long story, lord
06:03And I wouldn't want to bother you.
06:08As a child, I was already interested in many things
06:27One day, my father was asked to have a wooden shield decorated
06:32It's a long story, it's a long story
07:06It's a cost
07:08It's a cost
07:08Unequaled
07:10At fifteen, my father took me to Florence for an apprenticeship.
07:16From a quality craftsman
07:20It's a cost
07:20It's a cost
07:34It's a cost
07:44It's a cost
07:46It's a cost
08:09Overwhelmed by his student's talent
08:11Perrocchio will never paint again
08:13It's a cost
08:16It's a cost
10:17Then there was the attempted assassination of the Medici brothers, the death of Giuliano, and the repression of
10:23Laurent, without pity.
10:25Around this time, we worked on a very beautiful equestrian statue, with my beloved master,
10:32Verrocchio.
10:33Verrocchio? The one who made the statue of Colerno?
10:38Why didn't you tell me sooner that he was your master? He's the man he
10:43I would need it for my escape.
10:45He is in Venice, Lord, and is working on his project.
10:48But I can undertake the execution of this bronze horse, which is to celebrate the eternal glory of the
10:55Lord, your father.
10:56Okay, I'll hire you. You'll also have organized my parties.
11:01You will be staying at the palace.
11:09It is you, Your Grace, who should be on that throne.
11:22Come on !
11:36Yes, yes, children, that was the bulk of Eleanor's occupation at the Sforza palace.
11:40He had been tasked with organizing Ludovic's parties.
11:45He also worked on other things besides trivialities, didn't he?
11:48Yes, yes, of course, first of all, well, above all there will be the grandiose project of the cavalo.
11:53Ah, the horse!
11:55He will work there for 16 years.
12:24Since my requests remain unanswered, and I am obliged to earn a living,
12:30I am deeply saddened to find myself obliged to interrupt the work that your Lord has entrusted to me.
12:36Well, since we have to, let's go sell.
12:44Yes, yes, the perspective isn't bad.
12:46As for the rest, it needs to be redone.
13:16Ah, Leonard, I have an urgent job for you.
13:18I promised Cecilia Galerani that you would paint her portrait.
13:21It's a nice model I'm offering you, don't you think?
13:35The plague! The plague on Milan!
13:38There are hundreds, thousands of dead!
13:43Tens of thousands dead, perhaps half the city's population.
13:47It was predictable, Lord, with all that filth, those miserable living conditions.
13:53Look, I have a plan for a new city.
13:56Ten cities of thirty thousand souls each.
13:58Imagine wide streets, and the water running through those gutters will carry away the debris.
14:03And we could also make the tracks on two levels.
14:05One for pedestrians, the other for traffic.
14:25This is how we are going to make this statue.
14:27Look.
14:28It's beautiful, don't you think?
14:31Okay, well, I'm going to write a treatise on the horse.
14:35And on the art of casting bronze.
14:37This way, you'll get a better understanding.
14:39But I need money.
14:42It's been two years since you last paid me.
14:45Well, if they don't like it, we'll do something else.
14:48Architecture, anatomy.
14:52Military art, mechanics, engineering.
14:56Space technology.
14:58Geometry, musical instruments.
15:02Watchmaking.
15:03Machine tools, war machines, what have you got?
15:08And of course, a little bit of paint.
15:10Yes, I know, it's not finished.
15:13But what do you want?
15:14There are so many things to know, to understand...
15:17And of course, there are so many things...
15:31Yes, there are so many things with four cannons.
15:33There...
15:37But what politics.
16:02Leonard has just adopted Salahino, the little devil
16:04And the boy will soon prove himself worthy of his name.
16:18Ah Leonardo, you must go to Pavia to work on the city's fortifications
16:25You'll also be able to see what can be done for the cathedral dome.
16:29Passionate about the rich library of Pavia
16:31And the superb clock by Giovanni dei Dondi which is located there
16:35Leonardo will forget his work
16:39Sir da Vinci, the Duke is getting married
16:41He needs you in Milan to organize the party
16:48Here we are in 1492, Christopher Columbus discovers America
16:53And Savonarola triumphs in Florence
16:55Ah, Leonardo's Florence has changed a lot!
16:58Medici Florence
17:02You women, you provoke God with your low-cut tops, your jewelry, your indecent outfits.
17:07But don't forget that the sword of God hangs over your heads.
17:11Because the church in Italy has sinned
17:13Your fathers, your mothers have sinned
17:16And your children blaspheme
17:19Did he say things like that?
17:21Yes, and much worse.
17:23The servants will now spy on their masters.
17:28The children, their own parents
17:40And how long will these horrors last?
17:43Several long years passed until Pope Alexander VI, horrified by Savonarola's excesses, excommunicated him.
17:51This pope is a Borgia, father of a whole bunch of children
17:54He is not exactly a model of virtue
17:57But still, he is the pope.
17:59From then on, everything will happen very quickly.
18:02The preacher who calls himself a prophet is offered the ordeal by fire
18:22And what about the statue of the horse, the cavalo, in all of this?
18:26That's a good question.
18:27Well, we're working on it, we're working on it.
18:30But let's go back
18:32SO ?
18:33No, that's not going to work.
18:34Do you want something nobler, something grander?
18:36But then, I can't do that anymore.
18:39Balance, you understand?
18:41But I can do that, yes?
18:42So, I'm going to make you a model
18:44You'll see
18:45You'll see
18:56Overnight, Da Vinci's fame became immense
19:01There, the casting pit is surrounded by four furnaces.
19:04And then, the bronze jets
19:07Interesting, interesting
19:08And how much bronze will you need?
19:11Well... in the eighties
19:13It's settled, you'll get them, Sforza's word.
19:16It will be magnificent.
19:23I've come to talk to you, Ludovic, it's urgent.
19:27And confidential
19:39So
19:40My spies in Naples tell me that your nephew Gian Galeazzo, the Duke, is plotting against you.
19:46And the King of Naples is quite willing to come and install him on the throne of Milan.
19:53Here's what we're going to do
19:55First, send a messenger to the King of France
19:58To remind him that he has rights over Naples
20:00That'll calm that hothead down over there.
20:02Approach
20:05Afterwards...
20:09In 1494, the young Duke of Milan would die
20:12We won't really know how
20:17Ah, there they are!
20:20Salai, Salai, do you want to come?
20:21Salai, what did you do with my bicycle drawing?
20:25I can't find it anywhere, where is it?
20:27I want this drawing right now
20:28You tore it up again, didn't you?
20:32Did you do this?
20:34It would take three centuries for something equivalent to this bicycle to appear.
20:41Leonard, I've just been informed that the bronze for the horse is coming
20:53Leonardo, your bronze, the one of the horse
20:56Ludovic was unfortunately forced to send it to his brother-in-law in the East to be made into cannons.
21:01Oh, I'm sorry for you.
21:03So, we sharpen 400 needles 100 times per hour, that makes, let's see, 480,000 needles in 12 hours.
21:10At 5 sols per thousand, that makes, let's see, 60,000 ducas per year
21:16That's a lot.
21:18Ah, Leonard, good news!
21:21Ludovic has an order for you.
21:23A painting project
21:25The scene
21:26A painting project
21:56A painting project
22:02And you add some grass, egg white, and a few flowers, look, the red ones.
22:08It's missing a bit of cottage cheese and a bit of bitumen.
22:15Good work, Leonard, but the prior of the church is complaining.
22:19He came to tell me that all this is hardly progressing.
22:23Please tell him, Lord, that I am having difficulty finding the character of Judas.
22:27But if he insists, I'll use his head
22:29Or perhaps your partner's?
22:33No, but...
22:40Come on, come on, sit down and sleep, it's like a little death
22:44Okay, let's get to work.
22:49No, that's not going to work.
22:59Ludovic the Dead schemed to bring French troops into Italy
23:02And now they are also occupying Milan
23:07And what's the point of all this, huh?
23:30Defeated and betrayed by his own people, Ludovic will end his days as a prisoner in France.
23:35The 15th century comes to an end
23:37He saw Gutenberg's printing press
23:39The capture of Constantinople by the Turks
23:41The victory of the Catholic Monarchs
23:43The Discovery of America
23:47And da Vinci leaves Milan
23:50Here he is in Manteau, Isabelle d'Est
23:52He wants to charm him and force him to paint his portrait
23:57In Venice, threatened by the Turks, he proposed a system to drown the enemy army.
24:01And seize his fleet
24:03Against 50% of the expected ransoms
24:06In Romagna, he would be the architect and engineer of Cesare Borgia
24:10Back in Florence, he scribbles
24:13Painted a masterpiece
24:15Another one is missing
24:19And begins the portrait of Madame de Giocondo
24:24You may know
24:26It's Mona Lisa, it's Mona Lisa Giocondo
24:29He will find the time to work on new weapons
24:34Anatomy, flying machines
24:36Of vault balance, of clockwork
24:39Of war or defense machines
24:42Spinning work
24:43Gear shift
24:45Jack
24:46From pile driver
24:48Water pump
24:49Winch
24:50Ball bearing
24:53And many other things besides
24:55Like botany
24:58He will paint the Eda and the Swan
25:01And to take on the devoted Francesco Melzi as an apprentice.
25:04He will also paint his self-portrait
25:08In 1516, summoned by Francis I of Vinci
25:11Will leave for France
25:12With the faithful Melzi
25:13And the least loyal Salai
25:18Three years later, he would die near Amboise
25:21He was like a man who had woken up too early.
25:23While the others sleep
25:25Sigmund Freud said of him
25:28Discoverers shape better worlds for us
25:32Eyes towards the sky
25:34Their thoughts wander elsewhere
25:37Star-snow hand-twisting
25:40Planets, comets
25:43Here the man takes off
25:44He will leave the ground
25:45My words are that they fly away
25:47Tomorrow, they will lead us
25:49No other firmaments
25:52Because for them, man
25:53He is only at the beginning of his novel
25:58The discoverers
25:59The discoverers
