Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) unquestionably belongs in this elite group. Anyone who has looked in amazement at the "Mona Lisa", "The Last Supper", or the many drawings that sprang from his fertile imagination may wonder how he accomplished these astounding works of art. Fortunately for posterity, ...             Leonardo da Vinci: The Marvellous Works of Nature and Man1 review Martin Kemp Oxford University Press, USA, 2006 Exceptionally Readable and Knowledgable Kemp's book is exceedingly different from many accounts of the life of Leonardo da Vinci. It does not try to explain his entire life or place him on secret missions for the Church, nor does it find hidden meanings in his paintings. Leonardo da Vinci is a straight-forward text, and coupled with ...             Leonardo: The Artist and the Man17 reviews Serge Bramly, Leonardo Da Vinci Penguin (Non-Classics), 1995 The genius that is Leonardo from a different perspective + This book crackes the code... + An excellent summary of an amazing life + Renaissance Sun             Leonardo5 reviews Martin Kemp Oxford University Press, USA, 2006 The Story of an Exceptional Renaissance Man!!! + Depends on what you are looking for... + A Work of Art + Good Bio of an Extraordinary Man             Notebooks (Oxford World's Classics) Leonardo da Vinci, Irma A. Richter, ... Oxford University Press, USA, 2008 Most of what we know about Leonardo da Vinci, we know because of his notebooks. Some 6,000 sheets of notes and drawings survive, perhaps one-fifth of what he actually produced. With an artist's eye and a scientist's curiosity, he recorded in these pages his observations on the movement of water and the formation of rocks, the nature of flight and optics, anatomy, architecture, sculpture, and ...             Leonardo da Vinci: Flights of the Mind15 reviews Charles Nicholl Penguin (Non-Classics), 2005 A winner...! + Wow It has been a long time since my survey of art history and architecture classes, and so, in preparation for a trip to Italy, it seemed like a good idea to read about the great Leonardo.

Could these inventions have worked? We see da Vinci visualizing ...             Leonardo on the Human Body2 reviews Leonardo da Vinci Dover Publications, 1983 Leonardo's Masterpiece Leonardo Da Vinci's anatomical drawings, due to his extreme curiosity, became one of his most profound works to date.
