FIRST EDITION OF THIS MASTERWORK ON LEONARDO DA VINCI. Leonardo stands as a supreme icon in Western consciousness--the very embodiment of the universal Renaissance genius. With much of his work lost or unfinished the key to his legacy is without doubt to be found in the enormous body of his extant drawings and manuscript notes. This volume offers a unified and fascinating portrait of Leonardo as a draftsman integrating his diverse roles as an artist scientist inventor theorist and teacher. A chronological framework is also provided in order to shed light on his extraordinary life and career. Detailed descriptions of 138 individual works survey the wide variety of drawing types that Leonardo used from figural and composition sketches to anatomical and engineering studies and also include a small group of works by artists critical to his artistic development in Florence and his multifaceted activity in Milan. The focus is always on the hand of Leonardo at work on the techniques and functions of his drawings. To envision Leonardo quill pen in hand--sketching brainstorming reworking discarding recommencing jumping from thought to analogous thought--is to succumb to the sorcery of a creative process of the highest order.
