The genius behind Leonardo da Vinci's artwork is introduced in this deluxe silkbound guide with full-colour illustrations.

Leonardo

da Vinci's desire for accuracy and realism in his work drove him to

take an almost forensic approach to recording the world around him, and

to produce an enormous number of paintings, drawings, plans and

diagrams.

Selected from the entire range of Leonardo's finest

drawings, this book presents a comprehensive and inspiring collection

that is testament to Leonardo's accurate eye and unfailing hand,

showcased with breathtaking full-color images.

Once you have

studied these images you will begin to understand why Leonardo believed

the eye was the perfect instrument for absorbing all the laws of nature,

and that the artist was the perfect instrument for their expression.

ABOUT THE SERIES: The Arcturus Silkbound Classics series
