Softcover. Condition: As New. No Jacket. First Edition. "Leonardo da Vinci and the Art of Sculpture" offers a fresh perspective on the renowned Renaissance polymath through the lens of his engagement with sculpture. This stiff softcover First Edition thus, in impeccable As New condition, invites readers to explore Leonardo's lesser-known yet significant contributions to the world of sculpture.Published on November 24, 2009, this volume is a testament to Leonardo's multifaceted genius, shedding light on his work as a painter, designer, draftsman, architect, engineer, scientist, and theorist. While his prowess in these fields is widely acknowledged, his involvement in sculpture is often overlooked. This book seeks to challenge such assumptions by examining Leonardo's sculptural projects, influences, and the works of art he inspired.Despite prevailing notions that Leonardo viewed sculpture as inferior to painting, the book reveals his deep engagement with this art form. Drawing inspiration from ancient sculptures and admiring the innovations of contemporary sculptors like Donatello, Leonardo's sculptural endeavors were far-reaching. Notably, he trained under Andrea del Verrocchio, a prominent bronze sculptor of late 15th-century Florence.One of the book's highlights is Leonardo's ambitious undertakings: two larger-than-life-sized horse sculptures intended as monuments to Francesco Sforza, the Duke of Milan, and his successor Gian Giacomo Trivulzio. While neither project was completed, they provide insight into Leonardo's design challenges and his intense study of equine anatomy and movement.Additionally, the book features new images of "John the Baptist Preaching to a Levite and a Pharisee," a recently restored work in the Florentine Baptistery. Through this piece, co-authored by Leonardo and Giovanni Rustici, readers gain insight into Leonardo's collaborative approach and his influence on his contemporaries.Your copy of "Leonardo da Vinci and the Art of Sculpture" will be meticulously packaged for shipment, ensuring its protection from the elements.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. The book explores the connection between Leonardo da Vinci's visionary designs, Renaissance engineering, and modern biomimicry, highlighting how nature has inspired technological innovation across centuries. The aim of BIOMIMICRY is to encourage to reflect on their relationship with nature, and to see it not as a resource to be exploited, but as a source of technical solutions to be understood and respected. This catalogue explores the concept of biomimicry by establishing a dialogue between the work of Leonardo da Vinci and Renaissance engineers on the one hand, and contemporary researchers on the other. It shows the way in which the living can be a source of inspiration for our technological future, and the extent to which the Renaissance, with its innovative vision and deep connection to nature, understood this. This book brings together original drawings by Leonardo da Vinci and Albrecht Duerer, models of machines based on the artist's drawings - an ornithopter, a mechanical dragonfly, a flying sphere, a bat's wing, an aerial screw - Renaissance manuscripts, biomimetic robots from LAASCNRS, the Santa Anna School of Advanced Studies in Pisa and the University of Lausanne. In this way, it highlights the extraordinary modernity of Leonardo da Vinci's work on materials, animal anatomy, bird and fish behaviour, and locomotion techniques. It brings together history, art, technology and current scientific developments in a cross-disciplinary approach.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Rivers, whirlpools, rain, floods, underground flows: for Leonardo da Vinci water is at once a natural phenomenon, a scientific subject, a pictorial material, and a major technical challenge. A universal genius of the Renaissance, Leonardo da Vinci (14521519) never ceased to observe, analyze, and glorify water, which he regarded as the vital force of nature and the hidden engine of the world. Through his drawings, notes, and engineering projects, he emerges as a true master of water, anticipating by several centuries the sciences of hydraulics, geology, and even environmental studies. Published on the occasion of the exhibition at the Clos Luce, the artists last dwelling, this catalogue offers a fascinating immersion into Leonardos thoughts. It brings together autograph drawings, manuscripts, scientific studies, sketches of hydraulic machines, and works of art to show how water permeates his entire oeuvre, from painting to engineering. Dams, canals, flood-regulation systems, studies of currents and vortices testify to the striking modernity of his vision, in which observation of nature fuels technical innovation. At the crossroads of art history, science, and contemporary issues related to water and the environment, this richly illustrated book is accompanied by essays written by specialists. Both an exhibition catalogue and a reference book, it offers a renewed reading of the Florentine masters oeuvre and invites readers to rediscover a visionary way of thinkingmore relevant than ever at a time when the management and preservation of water constitute a major challenge for our future.

Brossura. Condition: new. English Text.Figline Valdarno, 2014; paperback, pp. 152, ill., cm 15x21. Con "Tirari" e "Alzari" vengono identificate, in epoca medievale i sistemi di sollevamento e spostamento di grossi manufatti quali alzacolonne e gru, spostaobelischi e argani, taglie e tutte quelle macchine conosciute e sviluppate dagli ingegneri per poter esercitare la propria professione. Gli autori intendono ripercorrere la storia di questi sistemi, partendo dall'Antichità, fino al Rinascimento offrendo una chiave di lettura che compenetra l'interpretazione filologica ad un'approfondita analisi fisico-matematica permettendo una visione più completa dei progetti di Leonardo. L'introduzione della grafica computerizzata, consente infatti, di studiare e verificare il funzionamento delle macchine di Leonardo, fornendo ipotesi basate su verità storico-scientifiche nel rigoroso rispetto delle fonti. Con tale consapevolezza, vengono presentate quindici schede tecniche in cui si integrano ricostruzioni digitali elaborate con tecnica 3D, a schemi di funzionamento che ne descrivono le caratteristiche di costruzione, funzionamento e utilizzo.
