Sinopse

Leonardo Da Vinci, artist, inventor and prototypical Renaissance man, continues to fascinate us because of his astonishing intellect and boundless curiosity about the natural and manmade world. During his life he created numerous works of art and kept voluminous notbookss that detailed his artistic and intellectual pursuits. The collection of writings and images in this magnificent book are drawn from these original notbookss and the book is organised by a wide range of subject matter including human figures; light and shade; perspective and visual perception; anatomy; botany and landscape; geography; the physical sciences and astronomy; architecture; sculpture; and inventions. The writing and art is selected by art historian H. Anna Suh who provides fascinating commentary and insights into the material, making Leonardo's Notbookss the definitive single-volume compendium of his enduring genius.
