4.0 out of 5 stars Good analysis, 9 Jan 2003
By Anders Rasmussen (Lund, Sweden) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This biography is to some extent based on a misinterpretation of language and the conclusions drawn often seem vaguely supported by evidence. However, Freud’s ability to look at the small details and from these build a complete picture is in it self a reason to buy this book. Despite of the small documentation of Leonardo Da Vinci's life Freud is able deduct a detailed picture of Leonardo's psychological development. Reading this book will moreover give the reader an introduction to Freud’s theories which are also very interesting (he basically asserts that all behaviours origin in sexual or aggression motives).

If one seeks only to learn about Leonardo's life and his scientific accomplishments this is perhaps not the book although one do get a shallow overview of his life. On the other hand, if one wants to see the human being in Leonardo Da Vinci and no longer see him as a "superman" then this is the book. After reading this book I have been able to actually relate to Leonardo, and I have even learnt one or two things about myself.
