Description

There is no shortage of books and booklets about Leonardo da Vinci, including by this very author. So what makes this one different? This small, full-color book joins Catherine's growing set of "Enjoying Great Art" books that concentrate on the art itself, with very little verbal interruption. And just like the other booklets in this series, this one is in chronological order. But this booklet's focus is on the art of Leonardo da Vinci, showcasing each of the paintings currently attributed in part or in whole to the great master. It also includes a number of his sketches, which are also extremely artistic, and several paintings by other authors that relate to Leonardo da Vinci and his work. Maps, quotes, and "job" titles have been added to round out the extras included. So whether you are starting a study of Leonardo da Vinci or just looking for another great book to add to your da Vinci collection, you are likely to enjoy this little tribute to the genius of this one man - who packed much into his sixty-seven year life.
