But most of what we know about him comes from the work he produced. Most of the text of this book is about that work, with detailed analyses of each significant piece of art. Wallace also spends some time on the history and culture which affected Leonardo’s work, and which Leonardo affected in turn. He also discusses work that may or may not have been by Leonardo, and what clues suggest about their provenance. An Appendix shows a chronology of painters of the 15th and 16th centuries. This volume of the Time-Life Library of Art makes a great introduction to the artist. This is the best book I've read about Leo. I don't really appreciate his art but he was a character. He invented a lot of weapons and was a friend of the killer Ceasare Borgia. He seemed to like using his imagination more than production. Once he had figured out what he wanted to do, he didn't want to do it anymore. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
