Shedding new light on the renowned Renaissance artist, this book
examines all of da Vinci's known paintings using recent advances in
technology and the latest art historical research. While Leonardo
da Vinci is one of history's most studied and renowned artists,
there are many myths surrounding his work. Beginning with his birth
and early maturity in the workshops of the Florentine masters,
Alessandro Vezzosi delves into the provenance of disputed works
such as Madonna Litta and La Bella Principessa. He demonstrates how
recent advances in technology have aided researchers in studying
and restoring da Vinci's art--including uncovering forgeries--and
he explores the artist's scientific achievements in the fields of
optics and paint composition. An exquisitely produced plate section
looks at the most significant aspects of da Vinci's work, and
offers numerous comparative examples in the form of archival
documents, preparatory studies, and contemporary paintings. A
fitting tribute to da Vinci, this wide ranging book applies
21st-century knowledge to help answer centuries-old questions about
the Renaissance genius.
