Da Vinci: The Painter Who Spoke With Birds (Art for Children)

Yves Pinguilly, da Vinci Leonardo

Chelsea House Publications, 1994

Leonardo da Vinci
The book Leonardo da Vinci in my opinion was a truly remarkable book. Unlike most biographies this book focused more on the achievements and ideas of da Vinci rather than his entire life story. It told about the many inventions and philosophies written down in da Vinci's journals. If you like reading informational books and you like Leonardo da Vinci, then I strongly recommend that you get ...

Paperblanks, 2003

Beautiful Book!
It's sometimes difficult to know until you hold a journal in your hands if its quality is worthy of your thoughts. Curious about this series of blank books, I located one in a Border's store so I could examine it closely, and was sold (though I actually bought several of various styles through Amazon due to the greatly reduced price and wide selection). Just wanted to reassure any curious ...

Profile Books Ltd, 2005

The first Renaissance man
Nothing of Leonardo DAVinci's sketchbooks were published until the 20th century. These are some of the most important documents of the Renaissance, and they did not become known until the 20th century. There are still people who do not know how important this work was. His anatomical studies were a watershed moment, because they introduced visual diagrams as the standard for communicating ...

Leonardo Up Close & Personal
As an Art History professor, I am very impressed with Leonardo's Notebooks. This oversized book contains Leonardo da Vinci's detailed sketches, many of which are new to me. In addition, this book provides commentary written by the artist himself on his theories, inventions, plans for artwork, and philosopohies. I've referred this text to fellow professors as a remarkable resource for ...

Fables of Leonardo Da Vinci

Leonardo Da Vinci

Checkerboard Pr, 1973

Yet another success for the most successful man
I have long believed that the most talented person who ever lived is Leonardo Da Vinci. The phrase "Renaissance Man" could have been coined simply as a response to his accomplishments. One of the greatest artists of all time, he also anticipated many products used in both war and peace. However, it is not well-known that he was also a writer of fables for children. While his fables are not of ...

Leonardo Da Vinci: The Anatomy of Man : Drawings from the Collection of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II

1 review
Martin Clayton, Ronald Philo, ...

Bulfinch Pr, 1992

A book to be contemplated
Da Vinci's anatomical drawing is not simply scientific record. It is a great man's comtemplation on humanity through the very basics of physical form. To back up this kind of inquiry, you need a god to in your soul or you have to be the god youself. Without this spiritual aspect, scientific research would turn into something crudely utilitarian or cruelly inhumane as we all have noticed in so ...

Vilo International, 1995

A true treasure!
Just finished reading this book and I found it to be one of the best all-encompassing views of Leonardo the man, artist, and inventor that I have read. Of course, it is not truly all-encompassing and covering all the details of Leonardo's life, but it covers the basics and gives a nice overall picture of the man and his works. It goes over topics like the extra hand with the knife in The Last ...

Leonardo Da Vinci's Advice to Artists

da Vinci Leonardo

Running Pr, 1990

Great advice to students
Leonardo da Vinci was truly a great artist, even though he didn't leave behind that many works of art. This little book, however, points out all the areas of observation that an artist needs to be aware of. These points are not taught in art classes. Most artists come by these pointers and tips after many long years of trial and error. Artists are visual problem solvers. And excellent ...

Numen, 2003

A wonderful book...
I'm going to buy shares in Taschen, I think... I was pretty darn happy from the moment I pulled this book out of its slipcase. So many well-reproduced illustrations of Leonardo's paintings and drawings and really interesting text too. It's one of my favourite art books in my collection.

Serge Bramly, Leonardo Da Vinci

Penguin (Non-Classics), 1995

The genius that is Leonardo from a different perspective
This book is more than a simple biography. Mr Bramly writes about his subject with such warmth and familiarity that you forget this is all based on meticulous research, that our subject died nearly 500 years ago and that only a small portion of his art, inventions and writings remain. Far from a dry "birth to death" review, this book has succeeded in bringing the multi-faceted genious that is ...

Inventing Leonardo

Leonardo da Vinci, Richard A. Turner

University of California Press, 1994

A lively look at Leonardo in fact and myth.
Unlike just another standard biography or monograph, this book makes a useful contribution to the already crowded arena of Leonardo studies. The black-and-white illustrations are barely adequate, but there is a particularly helpful bibliography. Recommended for art history faculty and advanced students.
