Models, Chateau du Clos Luce, Amboise
Models of a catapult and machine gun designed by Leonardo da Vinci, 1452-1519, in the basement of the Chateau du Clos Luce, a manor house built 1468-71, designed in Renaissance style by Albert Dufet, in Amboise, Indre-et-Loire, France. Originally a stronghold of the Chateau d'Amboise, it later became a royal summer residence and Francois I offered its use to Leonardo da Vinci, who lived here 1517-19. The chateau houses a museum and is listed as a historic monument. Picture by Manuel Cohen
