"The Unknown Leonardo"
not only brings us
closer to Leonardo the man but gives us access as well to
Leonardo the genius. In this book ten of the world's leading
Cincian scholalrs illuminate all aspects of Leonardo's
multifaceted blrilliance. Through an imaginative use of graphics
and captions - beautifully interwoven with the text, yet
independently meaningful - Leonardo's inventions and ideas are
made clear to both the eye and the mind. "The Unknown Leonardo" is an adventure, an experience, and a possession of beauty. It will delight anyone who is interested in art, science, technology, the Italian Renaissance, or the potentialities of the human mind. |
