Leonardo da Vinci

Walter Isaacson, the bestselling author of Steve Jobs, Einstein, and Benjamin Franklin, presents Leonardo da Vinci in this exciting and insightful biography. Based on historical sources and Isaacson’s extensive research into Leonardo’s life and work, Leonardo da Vinci brings this remarkable Renaissance man to life as a writer, anatomist, scientist, inventor, painter and sculptor. Da Vinci was a genius who produced the most famous paintings in history: The Last Supper and Mona Lisa. But in his mind he was just as much a man of science and technology. With a passion that sometimes became obsessive, he pursued innovative studies of anatomy, fossils, birds, the heart, flying machines, botany and geology.
