Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci

The life and work of the great Italian Renaissance artist and scientist Leonardo da Vinci (1452â€“1519) have proved endlessly fascinating for generations. In Leonardo da Vinci, Sherwin Nuland completes his twenty-year quest to understand an unlettered man who was a painter, architect, engineer, philosopher, mathematician, and scientist. What was it that propelled Leonardoâ€™s insatiable curiosity? Nuland finds clues in his subjectâ€™s art, relationships, and scientific studiesâ€”as well as in a vast quantity of notes that became widely known in the twentieth century. Scholarly and passionate, Nulandâ€™s Leonardo da Vinci takes us deep into the first truly modern, empirical mind, one that was centuries ahead of its time.
