The Deluge drawings of Leonardo present a unity of artistic and scientific subjects as related to the reception of Lucretius and Epicurus physics in the Renaissance. Implicit as well explicit references to De Rerum Natura in Leonardo’s manuscript and works, and specifically in the Deluge series according to recent scholarship , refer also to the narrative of the formation of the world by the play of atoms and voids in Lucretius atomistic views, as well as the meteorological teachings and descriptions in Lucretius´
poem related to the physics and the cosmology of Epicurus.

“As we flip these pages, we enter the author´s experience of possibility. We are displaced through new sensibilities of artistic communication and hetero-synchronous time. Dr. Lima has sent us an invitation to join him in the permanent diaspora. These works are the Derridean postcards of an aesthetic derive. They imitate and remediate artistic discovery. In doing so, they also record a global journey upon which we have recently (or long ago) embarked and which the possible destinations are yet to be imagined”
From the Preface by Dr. J R Osborn
