In this classic, engrossing text, a distinguished historian explores the mind and manifold interests of the great personality of the Renaissance. More than just a biography, The Mind of Leonardo da Vinci offers numerous demonstrations of the master's achievements not only in sculpture and painting but also in music, engineering, and even experimental aviation. It traces the artist's travels (from his native Florence to Milan, Venice, Rome, and France), examines his manuscripts and their philosophical revelations, and assesses the paintings and sculpture. First published in 1928, this book remains one of the best introductions to Leonardo and his extraordinary versatility. 16 black-and-white illustrations.
