Good luck to everyone running the #LondonMarathon today!

According to Herodotus, the original ‘marathon runner’ was a messenger called Pheidippides, who ran from Athens to Sparta to seek help against the Persian forces, covering 260km in two days 🏃‍♂‍

This sketch is a fabulous example of Da Vinci’s ability to capture expressions: just look this cat's clear disdain as it squirms within an overly eager embrace!

🎂 Leonardo Da Vinci was born #OnThisDay in 1452.
