“The guiding thread of my text could be summed up in one word: freedom,” explains Vincent Delieuvin. “Leonardo da Vinci cultivated an artistic and social freedom unique in his time.”

A Complete Leonardo da Vinci Art Book

This Leonardo da Vinci book retraces the life, work, and thought of the Renaissance master, from Florence to Milan, from The Last Supper to The Mona Lisa, from The Virgin of the Rocks to Saint Anne. Each painting and drawing reveals the genius of Leonardo da Vinci, his passion for art, science, nature, geometry, and movement. The book includes reproductions of Leonardo’s notebooks, more than 4,000 pages of drawings, studies, and sketches, where art meets science, and painting becomes a tool for understanding nature.
“Leonardo wanted to represent life in all its physical and spiritual complexity,” explains Vincent Delieuvin.
In this Renaissance art book, Leonardo da Vinci’s genius unfolds through drawings of the human body, studies of anatomy, observations of light and air, and the famous Vitruvian Man, symbol of the harmony between art and mathematics, science and beauty, freedom and perfection.
