Leonardo (Masters of Art)

Chronologically arranged, the book covers important biographical and historic events that reflect the latest scholarship. Additional information includes a list of works, timeline, and suggestions for further reading.

Although less than twenty of Leonardo da Vinci’s paintings are known to exist today, some of them—the Mona Lisa, The Last Supper, along with his drawing of the Vitruvian Man— are among the most identifiable, reproduced, and popular works in the world. This monograph explores Leonardo as not just a painter but also a scientist, naturalist, architect, and engineer, showing how the artist’s oeuvre reflected his boundless curiosity and imagination.
