Leonardo da Vinci and His Universe

Leonardo da Vinci dreamed of "revealing the invisible"; the genius of the Renaissance, a great scientist and inventor, a master of painting and drawing sought to understand the essence of the phenomena of the universe.
More than 500 years have passed... since da Vinci's death, and his personality is still shrouded in a halo of myths and legends. Alessandro Vezzosi, a world-class expert and the foremost connoisseur of Leonardo's work, helps to see his creations in a new light. By analyzing the manuscripts, drawings, and documents created by Leonardo, the author presents the main stages of the master's life and shows their influence on his artistic, scientific, and technical explorations.
This book from the series "Living Art" provides a comprehensive overview of the artist's legacy – from "The Adoration of the Magi" to the "Mona Lisa", as well as including works by his students and followers, studies, notes, letters, maps, engineering, and architectural projects by da Vinci. A total of 230 illustrations.
