Un mero catalogo di opere di Leonardo, una striminzita biografia come prologo ed alla fine delle analisi tecniche, scientifiche e quotidiane del Leonardo "dietro" le sue opere, non solo pittoriche!
Un librettino discretamente piacevole, ma poca cosa rispetto alla grandezza di questo artista, direi l'Artista per antonomasia. L'artista che vede nella Natura e nel rispetto di essa, tutta la sua arte e la sua passione, indagatrici, appassionate...
"Facile cosa è farsi universale."

I enjoyed the quick recap of Leonardo's works and a bit more about his life. The downside was the type-face was very small, and a light gray so not super easy to read, and some of the art was printed small on the page so hard to see details, but I did appreciate some works also had zoomed in detail images. Overall enjoyable and short. Read for single word title category of Seattle book bingo.

This books gives a peek through the curtains of medieval art and how Leonardo’s played an important role. This book tried to uncover unknown details at different stages of his life.

Enjoyed the little details of Leonardo’s most admired arts Mona Lisa and The Last Supper. Mona Lisa is world’s most famous painting for a reason.

Very beautiful plates showing works by Leonardo da Vinci with many close-ups and some insightful commentaries.
