Overview

Artist, anatomist, architect, botanist, cartographer, engineer, mathematician, musician, scientist, sculptor—the word “polymath” cannot provide the full measure of Leonardo da Vinci’s extraordinary talents. If you only know Leonardo as the painter of the famous, much-copied portrait  Mona Lisa, seize the chance to brush up your knowledge and discover what is meant by the term Renaissance Man with this book. It is an instant and expert guide to the breadth and brilliance of da Vinci's greatest innovations. Illustrated with inventive graphics and supported by studies of his key paintings, it is the ultimate book to quench your da Vinci curiosity.
