Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book re-evaluates the work of Leonardo da Vinci through a candid and thought-provoking lens. The author takes issue with the traditional reverential view of Leonardo's artistic genius, presenting a nuanced analysis of the strengths and weaknesses evident in his most famous paintings. The book uncovers the tensions between Leonardo's role as an artist and his scientific curiosity and offers a fresh perspective on the origins of the Romantic worship of artistic geniuses. It delves into the significance of Leonardo's technical innovations, such as chiaroscuro and contrapposto, exploring their impact on the trajectory of European art. Ultimately, this book challenges conventional wisdom and deepens our understanding of Leonardo as both an innovator and a flawed but brilliant artist.
