Synopsis

In his own day, Leonardo was regarded as one of the greatest of all artists, sharing the summit with Michelangelo, Raphael and Titian. His genius has only recently been recognized, however, with the discovery of his notebooks and their range of drawings, scientific, technical and engineering inventions, and disquisitions on philosophy and medicine. This book is an all-embracing general introduction to Leonardo's life and work, giving full attention to the whole range of the notebooks. Three of the ten chapters are devoted to his art, and the rest to his anatomy, natural history, engineering, inventions and architecture.
