Leonardo da Vinci

Description

Experience the definitive biography of history's greatest polymath. Walter Isaacson and Jordi Ainaud i Escudero trace Leonardo's mind across seven decades, revealing how his insatiable curiosity fueled not only the Mona Lisa and The Last Supper but also groundbreaking anatomical studies, engineering designs, and scientific observations that predated modern discoveries by centuries. This is more than a biography — it is a study of how one mind could synthesize art and science in ways no one has since.\n\nThrough Leonardo's notebooks, the authors reconstruct his obsessive note-taking, his unfinished projects, and his habit of starting new ideas before completing old ones. You will understand why his paintings were radical and how his notebooks anticipated the scientific revolution. The Finnish translation preserves every nuance of the original's depth, making this masterpiece accessible to every reader. Discover the genius behind the legend.
