Through the Eyes of Leonardo Da Vinci: Selected Drawing and Paintings

Get inside the brilliant mind of Leonardo da Vinci with this beautiful hardback compilation of more than 100 of the master's drawings.

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 also 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. These include one of the earliest landscape studies, a magnificent series of drawings of the human skeleton, portraits, and some of his inventions.

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.

Presented in a beautiful hardback format with gold-gilded page edges, this book is a treasure trove of fascinating information and breath-taking full-color images.
