Another picture of L'Île d'Or, France, I took with my DJI Phantom 4 Pro V2.0. This time closer to the tower.
My edit has a few issue with some colors. I'll fix it later.
Leonardo da Vinci spent his final years in Amboise and is said to be buried in the chapel of the château (there is some doubt that his remains are actually there). This statue by the Italian sculptor Amleto Cataldi (1882-1930) was presented to the French government by the Republic of San Marino in 1935. It represents Leonardo as a "Greek god," although why the subject of Perseus and Medusa was chosen is not known. The sculpture was originally installed in Paris. It was moved to its present location in 1976, but for some reason it was left unidentified (no plaque or marker) until December of 2011, some months after my visit, when this photograph was taken. The sculpture rests on a concrete platform near the river bank on the Ile d'Or, a small island in the Loire at Amboise. The statue faces the château but at an angle from slightly upstream.
