Description
“For art history enthusiasts, this richly illustrated and well-written book is an absolute gem.” – Italy! Magazine
Leonardo da Vinci was the embodiment of the humanist ideal of the Renaissance, a logical erudition of epic proportions that focused not only on art but also on inventions, anatomy, architecture, engineering, literature, mathematics, music, science, astronomy, and more. His work is astonishing and rightly renowned for masterpieces such as the Mona Lisa and The Last Supper, as well as surprisingly technical and graceful drawings. The phenomenon that was Leonardo would not have flourished to such an extent without the patronage and sponsorship of the Medici family, who commissioned much of the art and architecture of the era and created a fertile environment for creativity. This wonderful new book offers a broader perspective on this master within that context, alongside works by other key artists who benefited from the Medici, from Brunelleschi and Donatello to Michelangelo and Raphael.
