PARIS — No institution in the world owns more Leonardo da Vincis than the Louvre. To mark the 500th anniversary of Leonardo’s death, the Louvre is staging a retrospective featuring some 160 works. The blockbuster show, which opens Oct. 24 and runs through Feb. 24, 2020, is one of the most ambitious surveys ever of the artist’s work. Securing the Leonardo loans has been a complicated and sometimes rancorous process. Late last year, the governments of France and Italy fell out over the Renaissance master.
