Product Description
This captivating book provides the reader with a unique insight into the life and work of one of history's most intriguing figures. All of Leonardo Da Vinci's work is presented in this compact volume - from his paintings and frescos, to detailed reproductions of his remarkable encrypted notebooks. As well as featuring each individual artwork, sections of each are shown in isolation to reveal incredible details - for example, the different levels of perspective between the background sections of the "Mona Lisa", and the disembodied hand in "The Last Supper". 640 pages of colour artworks and photographs of Da Vinci's original notebooks, accompanied by fascinating biographical and historical details are here.

Format:Hardcover
Nice little book packed with everything you'd want to know and see. Only downside is its quite small, but makes it quite handy to carry around. Would have been great in A4 size. Still a great book, and as for Leonardo Da Vinci... he needs no review

Format:Hardcover
Very comprehensive book but the sketches and drawings of the more mechanical/scientific items have loads of Leonardo's own notes written all over the sheets. It would have been fascinating to have been able to read a translation of the great mans own words.

I thought this book was initially going to be bigger but it's not it's petite and crammed.
But in all honesty it doesn't bother me as i really just wanted something that had a complete collection of his works, with a bit of insight into his methods and techniques of that time. So aside from having to squint to appreciate some images it's value for money!
