"The Biography of Leonardo da Vinci, the Universal Genius"
Reference Book!
Leonardo da Vinci was born in 1452 in the small village of Vinci on the outskirts of Florence.
Since then, the name "Leonardo" has been associated not only with art, but with every genre.
It's as if his name itself were a code that unlocked all truths.
He left behind these words:
"A painter is not worthy of praise unless he is versatility."
His vast research, the crystallization of human wisdom, was concentrated solely on the pursuit of perfecting the art of painting.
While there are still various theories regarding the number of paintings he left behind, only 13 can be definitively attributed to Leonardo.
This book thoroughly analyzes paintings such as "The Annunciation" and "Mona Lisa," which epitomize the giant's inquisitive mind, from various angles.
Furthermore, by unraveling the extensive manuscripts in which he wrote down all of his research, we get a glimpse into the life of Leonardo the Man.
This is the first book adaptation of a well-received feature in the magazine "Pen."
