Read Leonardo da Vinci. Based on thousands of pages from Leonardo da Vinci’s astonishing notebooks & discoveries about his life & work, Walter Isaacson deftly reveals an intimate Leonardo in a narrative that connects his art to his science. Shares how Leonardo’s genius was based on skills we can cultivate in ourselves – passionate curiosity, careful observation & an imagination so playful that it almost flirts with fantasy.
He produced the two most famous paintings in history, The Last Supper & the Mona Lisa. Explored the math of optics, showed how light rays strike the cornea & produce illusions of changing perspectives in The Last Supper. His ability to stand at the crossroads of the humanities & the sciences made him history’s most creative genius. His life reminds us of the importance of thinking differently. An exciting biography that is a study in creativity – how to define it & how to achieve it. A powerful story of an exhilarating mind & life. “Why does the eye see a thing more clearly in dreams than the imagination when awake? Learning never exhausts the mind. Nature is the source of all true knowledge.” – Leonardo.
