Rich in ideas, delighted to experiment, and a keen observer, he was truly an all-round genius. In this book you can explore all these aspects and of course meet the real Mona Lisa as well!

QUICK STUDY OF LEONARDO,
By G (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Leonardo Da Vinci: Dreams, Schemes, and Flying Machines (Adventures in Art (Prestel)) (Hardcover)
If you are looking for a quick study of Leonardo da Vinci, this book will detail some of the masters outstanding accomplishments achieved throughout the course of his life. Using a inquiry format, a variety of questions are posed and answered in brief about the inventions, paintings and techniques employed by da Vinci. This book highlights important works, and provides the reader of an overview of the incredible lifetime achievements (and quirks) of the artist. I really liked this book, and will use it as a quick reference.

(Adventures in Art) Leonardo Da Vinci: Dreams, Schemes, and Flying Machines,
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Leonardo Da Vinci: Dreams, Schemes, and Flying Machines (Adventures in Art (Prestel)) (Hardcover)
You can call me StoryMaker and I can call this product great! This book tells you about some of Leonardo Da Vinci's ideas, pictures, and life. It tells you all about Leonardo's unfinished work. One of the best parts is, it explains Leonardo's pictures and unbuilt machine ideas. It explains the portrait of the Mona Lisa, including the Mona Lisa's real name. It also explains Leonardo's techniques and interests. However, the only pictures are Leonardo's work and models of some of his unfinished work made many years later. This isn't so bad, but hey, reviews are better when they mention bad parts. I also must say that if you're looking for a book all about Leonardo's life, this isn't the best choice. Overall, a nice book about Leonardo Da Vinci that, although it has its poor parts, is a great choice for learning about the renaissance period. Signed, StoryMaker. "Gotta trust the kid's review!"
