Masculinity, Sexuality and Ginevra

Masculinity is the theme for Episode 2, as we explore what it was like if you were a gay man living in 15th century Italy and portrayals of male characters on screen today. As well as following along with Episode 2 of Leonardo the drama which sees Da Vinci arrested for sodomy, we get the facts behind that episode’s featured artwork, Da Vinci’s Ginevra De’Benci. Guests include Freddie Highmore (Executive Producer / actor who plays Stefano Giraldi), Catherine Fletcher (Renaissance historian and author) and Eve Straussman-Pflanzer (Curator of the Ginevra De’Benci painting, National Gallery Washington DC). Hosted by Angellica Bell. Produced by Sony Pictures TV and Sony Music’s 4th Floor Creative, in association with Lux Vide.
