Leonardo da Vinci Livres
Leonardo da Vinci incarna l'idéal de la Renaissance, excellant non seulement comme peintre et sculpteur, mais aussi comme architecte, ingénieur et scientifique. Sa profonde curiosité pour le corps humain et le monde naturel a donné lieu à des études anatomiques méticuleusement détaillées qui ont servi à la fois à l'art et à la médecine. Bien que nombre de ses projets ambitieux soient restés inachevés, ses carnets révèlent un esprit en avance sur son temps de plusieurs siècles, explorant la mécanique, la physique et les phénomènes naturels. L'héritage de Leonardo est celui d'une enquête incessante, remettant en question les conventions et repoussant les limites de la connaissance.

Here is a complete picture of the techniques and working philosophy of one of the greatest artistic geniuses of the Renaissance. Assembled by a brilliant scholar from Leonardo's own writings--Notebooks and The Treatise on Painting--as well as his artistic production, the book offers a carefully balanced view of the artistÕs intellectual growth. Drawing on all the relevant writings, and rectifying many errors made by previous scholars, this work differs from earlier studies in its systematic grouping of the passages of Leonardo's writings concerning painting.
