I found this to be a very interesting and informative book. I also like that it is over-sized with large pictures.

I am reading the book verse by verse, paragraph by paragraph, section by section teaching me of the greatest master of painting, drawing person who always relies on nature......Da Vinci.

Customer Rating: 

This is a beautiful book, informative and visually stunning at the same time. You can't beat the price, either. A great practical alternative to the actual notebooks, because you get glosses and explanatory bits in this edition that put them in the context of his other work.

Leonardo Da Vinci pursued a systematic approach to knowledge, in which understanding of the human body was central and other phenomena were analyzed in that light, or compared to the human body. He offers some fascinating insights about how an artist "sees" subject matter---about how to observe nature and people and try to capture them through the medium of art. I thought his views on geography were quite interesting, for example that a river with many bends in it is an older river.
