Discovering the Life of Leonardo Da Vinci

Valoración del libro

Más información sobre el libro

Capable of formulating a comprehensive theory of the world, Leonardo da Vinci was undoubtedly the universal man envisioned by the Renaissance. The painter-sculptor was also a musician, engineer, architect, anatomist, astronomer, mathematician, director, writer, and geologist. A visionary genius, he is credited with inventing the airplane, submarine, bicycle, and violin. He was described as divine, and there was something infinitely unsettling about the extraordinary range and depth of his talents and qualities. The creator of the Mona Lisa astonished with his charm, humor, physical strength, and the beauty of his features, all while embodying the traits of a dandy and an extravagant personality. To narrate Leonardo's tumultuous life, Serge Bramly conducted thorough research, tracing the artist and observing his daily interactions with rivals and acquaintances, including Botticelli, Michelangelo, and Machiavelli. Thus, a captivating portrait emerges of a unique, exemplary man against the chiaroscuro of an unparalleled era.
