Leonardo Da Vinci: Experience, Experiment & Design - Tapa blanda

In this fascinating study Martin Kemp illuminates the most fundamental aspect of Leonardo's work - how he thought visually. The pages of his notebooks teem with ideas and are unparalleled in the graphic work of any other thinker from any age. Extraordinary images from a wide variety of sources, some virtually unknown, are illuminated by large-scale models and sequences of innovative computer graphics designed to animate his thoughts. Leonardo never lost his awe of the wonders of natural design and this ground-breaking book communicates a comparable sense of wonder through the continued grandeur and freshness of Leonardo's incomparable vision.

Martin Kemp is Professor of the History of Art at the University of Oxford. He is the leading authority on Leonardo da Vinci's art and science, and his extensive research resulted in his first monograph, Leonardo da Vinci: The Marvellous Works of Nature and Man (1986), an overview, Leonardo (2004) and exhibitions at the Hayward Gallery (1989) and the V&A (2006).
