Leonardo da Vinci’s Vitruvian Man (Uomo vitruviano) is by far the most famous and most important work in the collection of the Galleria dell’Accademia in Venice. Unfortunately, it is rarely displayed due to its fragility. It was displayed in 2025 and it may be several years before it is shown again.
