Description
A book that allow us to travel through da Vinci's thoughts and will forever shift your own thinking to an amazing perspective... "Leonardo had found a refuge in art from the pettiness of material environment. Like his own creations, he, too, had learned the secret of the inner life. The painter, he wrote, could create a world of his own, and take refuge in this new realm. But it must not be one of shadows only. The very mystery he felt so keenly had yet to rest on a real foundation; to treat it otherwise would be to plunge into mere vapouring. Although attempting to bridge the gulf which separated the real from the unreal, he refused to treat the latter supernaturally." This edition was created on a perfect size for students.

About the Author
Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci was an Italian polymath of the High Renaissance who worked as a painter, draftsman, engineer, scientist, theorist, sculptor, and architect. He lived from 15 April 1452 to 2 May 1519. He gained notoriety for his notebooks, in which he produced sketches and notes on a variety of topics, including anatomy, astronomy, botany, painting, and paleontology, even though his popularity primarily stemmed from his accomplishments as a painter. Only his younger contemporary, Michelangelo, has made a greater impact to following generations of painters than Leonardo, who is widely recognized as a genius and the embodiment of the Renaissance humanist ideal. One of the finest artists in art history, Leonardo is frequently considered as the father of the High Renaissance. He produced important discoveries in optics, tribology, hydrodynamics, geology, and civil engineering, but he never published his findings, therefore they had little to no immediate impact on subsequent science.
