This book features the following character:
Leonardo Da Vinci
Leonardo da Vinci was a gifted painter, talented musician, and dedicated scientist and inventor, designing flying machines, submarines, and even helicopters. Yet he had a hard time finishing things, a problem anyone can relate to. Only thirteen paintings are known to be his - as for the illustrated encyclopedia he intended to create, all that he left were thousands of disorganised notebook pages. A fascinating man who lived at a fascinating time - Italy during the Renaissance.
"This striking addition to the Meet the Artist series focuses on the life and work of the influential Renaissance artist and innovator. Geis provides a richly multidimensional and fittingly dynamic exploration of da Vinci's eclectic oeuvre."
