Features: Leonardo da Vinci, the founder of 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 the identities of a mechanical technician, educator, and scientist, making him a truly all-around painter of the Renaissance period with complete expression. Leonardo da Vinci possessed an extremely sensitive perception, often capturing the fleeting expression of things as if they were about to vanish. He not only found the charming aesthetic beauty of the surface but also retained the perspective of a physicist and anatomist. He successfully blended the rationality of a scientist with the sensibility of an artist, two seemingly contradictory qualities, to create masterpieces with precise compositions yet natural emotional expression. This book features some of Leonardo da Vinci's finest paintings throughout his life, such as The Adoration of the Magi, The Last Supper, and Mona Lisa, along with numerous sketches and manuscripts, offering readers a more comprehensive perspective on this great Renaissance painter.
