Leonardo da Vinci: A Life in Drawing

This book has to be one of THE best books I have purchased over the years of Da Vinci's work.Not only does it show his work, but compares it to the artists that influenced him.I love the quality of the photos and the close ups of the art is wonderful, showing great details, but THE BEST part is the section devoted to the Last Supper! It show not only the "Before" the restoration but the "After."I was blown away at how much color and details were stripped for the "restoration". The Before shows how rich the colors were and for those who are fans of Dan Brown's Da Vinci Code, it really makes you wonder if that isn't a portrait of Mary.It is really worth every penny. I am so glad I got this one. I will not be letting go of it any time soon!

Absolutely beautiful book! If you can’t make it to one of the museums in the UK to see the exhibition of their collection Leonardo’s works, this book is the next best thing. It’s well researched and well written, you’ll learn new facts about Leonardo— even if you’re an aficionado of the great master!

This book is magnificent. I purchased it for a gift as I have Leonardo's notebooks by Easton Press but this book is better than Easton. I am going to give it away and keep this one.

Book as described. Recommend seller

Great resource

This is a great book! Get the Hard Cover version if you can as it's larger and printed on thicker paper. I recommend also getting Leonardo's Notebooks [Hardcover] along with this book. GET IT! Leonardo Da Vinci

Gorgeous book. Worth every penny.

I never imagined that through a "child book" I would learn about this master-genious and moreover to be capable to comprehend the "details" about his art. I really enojoyed reading this book, I learn more about his famous paints and why they are considered pieces of art. I was motivaded to read more over the other great art's men such as Picasso or Michael Angel Buonorrati; I never thought that could be an easy way to understand this genious. I strongly recommend this book and the other series too; you can not only learn but also share with your child and encourage him to develop his talents or just enhance your "general culture" reading this great book. The talent consist in explaing complex ideas using a "simple language" that everybody can understand. There is not reason to became so sophisticated and not be able to "share" what you learn with the rest of the world. When you learn a good joke you want to tell the rest about it; it is meaningless if you just keep it for yourself...
