Why limit yourself to your small screen on the phone? Run Leonardo da Vinci Paintings, an app by haruki, best experienced on your PC or Mac with BlueStacks, the world’s #1 Android emulator.

Leonardo da Vinci Paintings is basically a clean, no-nonsense gallery that lets someone flip through a set of high quality images without getting poked by ads every few seconds. It focuses on Leonardo’s famous pieces and a bunch of his drawings, so it is not only Mona Lisa and The Last Supper, but also quieter studies and sketches that show how broad his work was. On a PC with BlueStacks, the pictures fill the screen nicely, which makes the whole thing feel closer to leafing through a big coffee table book than a phone app. The vibe is calm, very museum-like, and there is nothing flashy or noisy trying to get attention.

There are 89 HD images in total, which is a good amount for quick study or inspiration. Saving a favorite is possible, though there is a small hurdle the first time. The app needs storage permission, and that has to be turned on in the app’s settings before the Save button actually puts the file in a folder. The layout is simple enough that anyone can figure it out in a minute, but do not expect extras like long essays or guided tours. It is mainly about looking, appreciating the details, and having a tidy place to revisit works like The Virgin and Child with St. Anne without extra clutter.

Big screen. Bigger performance. Use BlueStacks on your PC or Mac to run your favorite apps.
