Leonardo da Vinci: A Life in Drawing (Hardback) /anglais

by Clayton Martin

Drawing was Leonardo da Vinci’s primary artistic activity. He used drawing to think, to explore the world around him and to develop his other artistic projects. His drawings are among the most diverse and technically accomplished in the entire history of art, and the Royal Collection holds by far the most important selection of these.

In 2019, to mark the 500th anniversary of Leonardo’s death, a series of special exhibitions of his drawings will open simultaneously at 12 venues across the United Kingdom, including Belfast, Birmingham, Bristol, Cardiff, Glasgow, Leeds, Liverpool, Manchester, Sheffield, Southampton and Sunderland, with a further venue to be announced. This publication includes all 200 of the drawings shown across these venues and provides an authoritative account of Leonardo’s works within the Royal Collection.

Delightful way to spend a rainy Saturday, lovely companion to the current Royal Collection Trust exhibition at The Queen's Gallery.

Grabbed this guy at a museum exhibition. It's a collection of artwork and some short summaries and analysis of the works, a great way to pass an afternoon.

A insightful book, that made me look again and again as the drawings and it commentary (both by the autor and da Vinci it self) gave a different meaning to the works.
