About the Item
Leonard de Vinci (Leonardo Da Vinci), French book by Jean-Claude, Frere, 1994.
Leonardo da Vinci is often regarded as the greatest artist of all time. This book retraces his career as a painter. This work was born of the need to reconsider Leonardo's art in its evolution. In light of the most recent research and suggestions for attribution, chronology, and interpretation, the book covers everything from the years of apprenticeship in Florence to the autonomous beginnings, from the maturity encountered in Lombardy to the withdrawing self to which the late works attest.
The final product was a synthetic catalog of his paintings. Every document pertaining to the orders placed with him is likewise reviewed. Finally, this book includes a comprehensive bibliography.
This book restores, alongside twenty painted masterpieces, the hidden faces of Leonardo da Vinci, a man of science, philosopher, architect, town planner, anatomist, botanist, and engineer.
When Leonardo da Vinci was born in 1452 in Tuscany, the natural son of a notary and a peasant woman, nothing foreshadowed such an extraordinary destiny. From his earliest childhood, he perceived himself as "different." This feeling of irreducible difference has led to a desire for freedom and innovation.
He stubbornly claimed the nobility of practical intelligence. The air, says Leonardo, as soon as day breaks, is filled with innumerable images to which the eye serves as a magnet. As for his "fabulous machines," forty of which are reconstructed from his drawings at Clos-Lucé in Amboise, France, where he spent the last years of his life. Vinci never built his fabulous machines himself, but he could see them working in the imagination of his sketches and their calculations. It is all the facets of the genius of Leonardo da Vinci, this diamond of the Renaissance so close to our modernity - painter, engineer, inventor, mathematician, architect, that we have endeavored to present in this book. More than one hundred and fifty color illustrations of known and lesser-known works (paintings, drawings, sketches, notebooks, notes, plans, studies, etc.) take us into the reality and intimacy of a man who lived four centuries ahead.
This is a beautiful coffee table art book.
