Publisher's Note
Scientist, painter, philosopher, anatomist, astronomer, engineer, inventor, courtier: Leonardo da Vinci is one of the greatest figures of the Renaissance. This book surveys the life and work of a unique genius, from his childhood in Italy to his death in France. More than a biography, it sets his life in the context of the great courts he visited: Medici Florence, ducal Milan, royal France. Written for both younger and adult audiences, it presents a readable discussion of Leonardo's complex art, life, and thought, explores his ground-breaking research in medicine, hydraulics, metal-casting, mechanics, painting techniques, architecture, and the new science of warfare and weaponry, and examines his place in intellectual and art history.

This is a thorough, accessible survey of the life and work of Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519), the greatest and most versatile artist and anatomist of the Italian Renaissance. More than a biography, this profusely illustrated book traces his personal, artistic, and philosophical development and sets his life in the context of the great courts at which he worked: the Florence of the Medici princes, the Milan of the Sforza dukes, and royal France. It also explores his groundbreaking research in natural science, medicine, hydraulics, metal-casting, mechanics, painting, architecture, and warfare and weaponry.
