En 1516, un homme \u00e2g\u00e9 de 64 ans traverse les Alpes pour rejoindre la France. Il s’appelle L\u00e9onard de Vinci. Peintre, inventeur, ing\u00e9nieur et scientifique, il est d\u00e9j\u00e0 c\u00e9l\u00e8bre dans toute l’Europe pour ses \u0153uvres et ses id\u00e9es extraordinaires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Son voyage n’a rien d’un hasard. Le jeune roi Fran\u00e7ois Ier, passionn\u00e9 par les arts et la culture italienne, souhaite attirer les plus grands talents \u00e0 sa cour. Il invite L\u00e9onard \u00e0 s’installer pr\u00e8s du ch\u00e2teau royal d’Amboise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
L’artiste re\u00e7oit une r\u00e9sidence confortable : le manoir du Clos Luc\u00e9. Il y passe les trois derni\u00e8res ann\u00e9es de sa vie, entour\u00e9 de ses \u00e9l\u00e8ves et de ses collaborateurs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
M\u00eame \u00e2g\u00e9, L\u00e9onard de Vinci continue de r\u00e9fl\u00e9chir \u00e0 de nouveaux projets. Ses carnets t\u00e9moignent de son int\u00e9r\u00eat pour l’anatomie, les machines, l’architecture et les ph\u00e9nom\u00e8nes naturels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Au Clos Luc\u00e9, il travaille notamment sur des projets architecturaux et des am\u00e9nagements destin\u00e9s \u00e0 la cour royale. Il conserve \u00e9galement plusieurs tableaux importants, dont la c\u00e9l\u00e8bre Joconde, qu’il a emport\u00e9e avec lui en France.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fran\u00e7ois Ier lui accorde le titre de premier peintre, ing\u00e9nieur et architecte du roi. Cette reconnaissance montre l’importance accord\u00e9e aux artistes et aux savants pendant la Renaissance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Une c\u00e9l\u00e8bre peinture repr\u00e9sente L\u00e9onard de Vinci mourant dans les bras de Fran\u00e7ois Ier. Cette sc\u00e8ne a contribu\u00e9 \u00e0 rendre leur relation l\u00e9gendaire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pourtant, il s’agit d’une repr\u00e9sentation romantique r\u00e9alis\u00e9e plusieurs si\u00e8cles apr\u00e8s les faits. Rien ne permet d’affirmer que le roi \u00e9tait pr\u00e9sent au moment de la mort de l’artiste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
L\u00e9onard de Vinci meurt le 2 mai 1519 au Clos Luc\u00e9. Sa pr\u00e9sence en France illustre les \u00e9changes artistiques et intellectuels qui caract\u00e9risent la Renaissance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Aujourd’hui, le Clos Luc\u00e9 est devenu un lieu consacr\u00e9 \u00e0 la m\u00e9moire de L\u00e9onard de Vinci. Les visiteurs peuvent y d\u00e9couvrir son univers, ses inventions et les nombreuses facettes de son g\u00e9nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Son histoire rappelle que la Renaissance fut une \u00e9poque de rencontres entre les artistes, les scientifiques et les souverains europ\u00e9ens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Le saviez-vous ? L\u00e9onard de Vinci a pass\u00e9 les derni\u00e8res ann\u00e9es de sa vie en France, et c’est notamment gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 sa pr\u00e9sence \u00e0 la cour que la Joconde est entr\u00e9e dans les collections royales fran\u00e7aises.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
