This year in France we celebrate the 500th year anniversary of the death of Leonardo da Vinci. Invited by François I in 1516 to live and work in the Loire Valley, this great artist, inventor, anatomist, engineer, botanist, and geologist spent the last four years of his life pursuing his scientific studies. Today, Leonardo’s tomb lies inside the Saint Hubert Chapel of the Château d’Amboise. Above the outside door, a stone-cut angel, weather-beaten and eroded by age, holds a banner reading "Gloria In excelsis des" - Glory to God in the highest.
