For lovers of art history this lavishly illustrated and well-written book is an absolute gem. - Italia! Magazine Leonardo da Vinci was the epitome of the Renaissance humanist ideal a logical polymath of epic proportions who excelled and had interests not just in art but in invention anatomy architecture engineering literature mathematics music science astronomy and more. His oeuvre is astounding and he is rightly famed for his masterpieces of painting such as the Mona Lisa and The Last Supper and his astonishingly technical and graceful drawings. The phenomenon that was Leonardo would not of course have flourished to such an extent had it not been for the patronage and sponsorship of the Medici family who commissioned a large proportion of the art and architecture of the era and fostered a fertile climate for creativity.
