Product Description

Product Description

A dazzling array of invention, insight and observation from perhaps the greatest genius of Western civilisation. Towering across time as the painter of the Mona Lisa, forever famous as a sculptor and an inventor, Leonardo da Vinci was one of the greatest minds of both the Italian Renaissance and Western civilisation. His celebrated notebooks display the astonishing range of his genius. Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code and recent in-depth biographies have stimulated renewed interest in Leonardo and his complex and enquiring intelligence. This brand-new selection of sketches, diagrams and writings from the notebooks is a beautiful and varied record of Leonardo's theories and observations, embracing not only art but also architecture, town planning, engineering, naval warfare, music, medicine, mathematics, science and philosophy. Complete with a short biographical essay describing Leonardo's life and achievements, this is the perfect introduction to a mysterious and endlessly fascinating genius.

About the Author

Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) was an Italian painter, sculptor, architect, musician, engineer and scientist. His many works of genius include The Last Supper and the Mona Lisa.

I read and loved the Da Vinci Code and then saw this book in a bookshop. The Da Vinci Code had really fuelled my interest in Da Vinci so I immediatly bought it. I found it to be stimulating and informative. It is remarkable to see what went on in the mind of a genius!

Interesting 21 Feb 2011
Format:Paperback
Before i read the book , i already knew of Da Vinci and learned about his most famous painting of the Mona Lisa.Once i completed reading this book which took me less then a day i have ordered more books about Da Vinci, realizing that not only was he a genius, but for his time, also the amount of discoveries he made and his philosophical teachings i wanted to know more about him.This book is a very good introduction to someone who does not know much about Da Vinci, each chapter is detailed with pictures to show for his works,the book does not show all the pictures of Da vinci's works but like i said this is a very good introduction into the mind of Da Vinci. He is an inventor, painter, sculptor, architect and many other things you will come to realize through reading this book, The majority of inventions today are inspired by Da Vinci's discoveries. Ever since i read the book i have already ordered another and watched a couple of documentaries on Da Vinci he is one of those great men that if i went back in time to when Da vinci was alive i would have loved to have met the Genius.
