Features: This is a set of postcards, or you could call it a book. It consists of 23 thick, color-printed cardstock. The front features beautiful world-famous paintings, and the back has an introduction to each painting. The printing is extremely exquisite! Leonardo da Vinci, the founder of the Renaissance and High Renaissance art, was not only the most outstanding genius among painters but also a sculptor, poet, musician, and architect. He also held identities as a mechanical engineer, mathematician, and scientist, making him a truly all-around painter of the Renaissance period. Da Vinci was incredibly sensitive, often able to capture the enchanting beauty of the surface of things, while never losing the perspective of a physicist or anatomist. He successfully blended the rationality of a scientist with the sensibility of an artist, two seemingly contradictory traits, to create masterpieces with precise compositions yet natural emotional expression.
