Leonardo da Vinci

Bernd Roeck

Painter, architect, scientist, inventor, literary man and scholar: Leonardo da Vinci’s universal endeavours made him the quintessential Renaissance man. In his gripping biography, Bernd Roeck follows Da Vinci on his way through Renaissance Italy, breaking through the very boundaries of the intellectual cosmos of his time.

Leonardo was an obsessive who left us with works of genius and an immeasurable bounty of ideas; a circumstance which has stimulated speculations on his life ever since. Bernd Roeck handles the available sources with rigour to show us what we can know about the artist – and what we cannot. In the book, we eat vegetarian food with Da Vinci and accompany him to Venice, Rome and the Loire. In his workshop in Milan, we watch him paint with squirrel-hair brushes, learn about the networks that facilitated Da Vinci’s breath-taking career and see him manoeuver through political turmoil. Most of all, we get the chance to trace the creative process that brought about Da Vinci’s unparalleled art.
