DiaporamaThe mechanical lion
From 1517 to 1518, at Le Clos Lucé in Amboise, Leonardo da Vinci soon designed and arranged magical shows and extraordinary spectacles, becoming a master in the art of special effects. As a result he became the grand organiser of royal festivities. In 1517, in Argentan, a celebration was organised to mark the visit of Francis I to his sister, Marguerite of Angoulême.
