Title: Leonardo da Vinci by Zollner -Published by Taschen
Product review: This work is a worthy testament to da Vinci's talents as apainter, sculptor, architect, scientist and inventor. Famouspaintings; such as, the Annunciation are depicted in full color.Leonardo's life is set forth in a series of memorable letters,the personal diary and important scientific achievements. Abeauty of the work is that considerable artistic criticismis provided by the authors. There are over 600 pages withmany drawings and works of art depicted. This is a relativelymodern work having been published in 2003. Considerabledrawings depicting his inventions are set forth in formalengineering schematics-much in the detail of Buckminster Fuller'sGeodome.This work would be perfect for any student project in art,world history, world culture and even mathematics/science.It is a solid acquisition for any personal/professional library.The price is considerable . The volume sells between $120-$200.This would be a perfect gift for almost any occasion.
