To commemorate the 500th anniversary of the death of Leonardo da Vinci (1452–1519), The Metropolitan Museum of Art will display the artist’s painting Saint Jerome Praying in the Wilderness (begun ca. 1483). A special loan from the Vatican Museums, this monumental, exquisitely rendered painting is in an unfinished state, providing viewers with extraordinary insights into the artist’s creative process.

For the communication of this exhibition, graphic designers Mortimer Lebigre and Ann Rieger used the typeface Le Beaune designed by Damien Gautier (205TF) and Garamond Premier Pro designed by Robert Slimbach (Adobe).
