Even his artistic oeuvre, though sublime, is minute. Fewer than 20 finished works are generally attributed to da Vinci. He failed to complete some of his most important commissions such as the “Adoration of the Magi”. His ill-fated experimentation with materials ruined others, including “The Last Supper”. Hence the paucity of exhibitions devoted to his art in what should be his year of years. Florence is commemorating him with a show devoted to his master, Verrocchio.

An exhibition could described as being devoted to the art of Leonardo da Vinci if there was nothing else exhibited (i.e. the only things exhibited were artworks by LdV).

Year of years means a (very) special year, like the 500th anniversary of his death.

The whole sentence means that the reason why there aren't as many LdV exhibitions as you might expect in such a special year is that he didn't actually produce all that much artwork, and some of his most famous works were left unfinished and/or spoilt by his experimentation.
