Leonardo da Vinci, as played by Aidan Turner in new period drama
Leonardo, is a man out of his time. He imagines the world from above, sees pioneering cinematic compositions on blank walls, designs war machines that will not be fully realised by other minds until centuries later. Yet this Leonardo is also erratic, and hamstrung by his quest for perfection.

It is true that the painter often delayed and procrastinated, taking years to complete many of his famous works and leaving countless more unfinished. Bringing humanity to the universally accepted fact of Leonardo’s genius is a new drama, written by Frank Spotnitz and Steve Thompson. But how do you create a 21st-century drama that conveys the ground-breaking nature of Leonardo’s work?

A TV series about the life and career of Leonardo da Vinci will be the latest period piece to hit Amazon Prime, the streaming service that disappointingly shows
Bosch, which is somehow not about the Dutch Old Master Hieronymus.

Leonardo although the plot does revolve around the artist becoming a lead suspect in a murder case in Milan, where he famously painted

Irish actor Aiden Turner, who played the title character in the BBC series
Nearly two years after the much-adored historical series Poldark came to an end, Aidan Turner is finally back on our screens.

I do hear what you re saying: maybe I need to wear a pair of jeans and shave my head for the next role. Note taken, quips the charismatic actor, chuckling. But a mysterious and passionate retelling of the life of one of history s greatest artists - set against the backdrop of Renaissance Italy - was a project he just couldn t turn down.
