Leonardo Da Vinci in His Own Words

Plot

This book captures the beauty and genius of Leonardo da Vinci's writings, which are accompanied by his evocative sketches and drawings. Discover the farsightedness and brilliance of the mind that brought us some of the greatest artwork and most incredible inventions from the Mona Lisa to the hot air balloon. The text is concentrated on four themes: • Science—observations of the physical world • Mechanics—looking at wheels and weight, swimming and flight • Art—color, form, light, proportion, and more • Life—tales and allegories, and the nature and meaning of life
