Interesting read

By Paul R DesRoches on September 21, 2012

Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase

Who isn't impressed with the life and accomplishments of the great Leonardo Davinci?? This book is filled with his words, which is enough by itself to make the work interesting. His knowledge of so many things was very impressive, especially considering the time he lived. There was so much ignorance in that time, but Leonardo required more evidence than most before he bought into what anyone was "selling". He was much more than a great fine artist, and some of the multi-dimensional talent that he had can be gleaned from the pages in this book. Sometimes tedious, but often compelling and stimulating, it is a book worth reading.

opinion of modern day sculptor

By Diego Ciego on October 23, 2012

Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase

It was interesting for me to realze that nothing is really original about the creative process. I know that beauty cannot be created by people, but merely coppied. As Leo says "painting is the higher art because your hands stay clean, you can wear clean clothes and drink wine with your friends as you create the next last supper.

Worth Memorizing

By John Foss on March 27, 2014

Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase

Sound words of advice for everyone. A little choppy in the formatting, but not going to complain as it was free!

It could be better, but among the existing works on Leonardo

By Jorge de La Rosa on March 19, 2015

Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase

Lacks some information. It could be better, but among the existing works on Leonardo, this is one of the best, if not the best.

Thought provoking

By Christian Michael Perron on June 20, 2014

Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase

Leonardo was a truly unique and awe inspiring individual. Would that I could maintain his perspective on the world, not only glimpse it through his old words.

Amazing read!

Leonardo was a deep thinker who was interested in almost everything. His comments on different subjects are FASCINATING and demonstrate how the mind of this genius operated.

Published 6 months ago by Susan Mills

Great book.

His mind worked so well that he could take ideas and place them into other medias and they made sense. I will be reading this one again.

A must Read - Really Enjoyed the book

Enjoyed the Book, it made you think and you could vision what the Author was writing about...I felt like I was there..A must read indeed

Published 20 months ago by Christine Abercrombie

A bit flimsy and disappointing.

Interesting information but short on quantity for such a complex genius who had his fingers in so many areas of science and art. I was expecting more.

Published 20 months ago by Frankie D

Fractured paragraphs

In the book, there are only snippets of Da Vinci's thoughts. A reader can only glance through his thinking without material to probe deep. Read more

Helpful and inspiring.

Do you ever ask yourself why you paint? This will give you a perspective that is much needed when asking such a question.
