1897. With a life of Leonardo and an account of his works by John
William Brown. Leonardo da Vinci was a Florentine artist and one of
the great masters of the High Renaissance. His most famous work is
the Mona Lisa. He was also celebrated as a painter, sculptor,
architect, engineer, and scientist. His profound love of knowledge
and research was the keynote of both his artistic and scientific
endeavors. His innovations in the field of painting influenced the
course of Italian art for more than a century after his death, and
his scientific studies- particularly in the fields of anatomy,
optics, and hydraulics-anticipated many of the developments of
modern science. Evidence indicates that Leonardo had apprentices
and pupils in Milan, for whom he probably wrote the various texts
that are compiled into Treatise on Painting. Contents: The Life of
Leonardo Da Vinci; Drawing-Proportion; Invention or Composition;
Light and Shadow; Colors and Coloring; and Miscellaneous
Observations.

This work is the principal repository of da Vinci's practical
thoughts on the technique of drawing and painting. It begins with
precise instructions on drawing the human body and then moves on to
techniques of rendering motion. Includes 48 anatomical drawings by
Nicholas Poussin and geometrical and architectural designs by Leon
Battista Alberti.
