To commemorate the 500th anniversary of Leonardo da Vinci's death,
world-renowned da Vinci expert Martin Kemp explores 100 of the
master's milestones in art, science, engineering, architecture,
anatomy, and more. Leonardo da Vinci was born in the small Tuscan
town of Vinci in April 1452. Over the centuries, he has become one
of the most famous people in the history of visual culture. Spring
2019 marks the 500th anniversary of his death in May 1519, with
exhibitions and events planned across Europe and the United States.
This lavishly illustrated volume by Martin Kemp--one of the world's
leading authorities on da Vinci--offers a fresh way of looking at
the master's work. Kemp focuses on 100 key, broadly chronological
milestones that cover an extraordinary range of topic across
Leonardo's many fields of discipline: painting, where he brought
new levels of formal and emotional grandeur to his works, including
The Last Supper and Portrait of Lisa del Giocondo (the "Mona
Lisa"); anatomical studies, which are extraordinary for their sense
of form and function (Studies of the Optics of the Human Eye and
Ventricles of the Brain); engineering marvels, noted for their
range and extraordinary visual quality (Gearing for a Clockwork
Mechanism and Wheels without Axles and Designs for a Flying
Machine); and his progressive engagement with a range of
sciences--anatomy, optics, dynamics, statics, geology, and
mathematics.
