Purchase options and add-ons

Unmatched in his ingenuity, technical prowess, and curiosity, Leonardo da Vinci (1452–1519) epitomizes the humanistic ideal of the Renaissance man: a peerless master of painting, sculpture, cartography, anatomy, architecture—and more. Simultaneously captivating art historians, collectors, and the millions who flock yearly to admire his works, Leonardo’s appeal is as diffuse as were his preoccupations. His images permeate nearly every facet of Western culture—The Vitruvian Man is engraved into millions of Euro coins, The Last Supper is considered the single most reproduced religious painting in history, and the Mona Lisa has entranced countless artists and observers for centuries.

On the occasion of the 500th anniversary of his death, this updated edition of our XL title is an unrivaled survey of Leonardo’s life and work, including a catalogue raisonné encompassing both his surviving and lost paintings. Through stunning full-bleed details, we experience every measured brushstroke, each a testament to Leonardo’s masterful ability.

An expansive catalog of nearly 700 of Leonardo’s drawings further illuminates the breadth of his pursuits. From diagrams of intricately engineered machines to portraits of plump infants, they stand reflective of his boundless and visionary technical imagination, balanced with a subtle and perceptive hand, capable of rendering quotidian moments with moving emotional timbre.

Also included is a new foreword by Frank Zöllner, expanded exclusively for this special edition, which dissects the latest scientific developments on Leonardo’s work and the story behind the haunting Salvator Mundi, which recently fetched a record-breaking $ 450 million at auction.

My grandma said this is one of the best books she's ever read. The pictures are excellent and the writing is fantastic. Only thing to note is that it is quite heavy and bulky.

This book is beautifully done with photography and diagrams and history. It’s a knockout in the art book market. However, the print is small. Don’t forget Leonardo covered a lot of ground in his life and trying to put it all between the covers of one book is a challenge. You will not be disappointed with this book.

Wow! I didn’t realize how big this book was. It’s beautiful and has detailed text that takes you through da Vinci’s life. I love that. I can’t believe the price. It’s the size of a college text book for $20! A must have for your collection.

Nice book. Not as large as one would expect with a "Coffee Table Book". Some of the pictures are cropped because the book is small. All in all, though, this is a worthwhile book to have. I love looking through it.

Reviewed in Brazil on November 7, 2022

O livro é excelente, muito especial. Veio perfeito, sem nenhum problema. Vale muito o dinheiro investido. Enquanto algumas críticas citam a falta da obra “Salvator Mundi” (2011), de Nova York, em algumas edições, nesta, comemorativa dos 500 anos da morte do Grande Mestre, Frank Zollner faz questão de debater-la. Ele simplesmente não a considera uma obra autêntica de Leonardo e aponta os problemas que fundamentam seu ponto de vista. Porém, toma o cuidado de não dar um veredicto final, embora seus argumentos sejam fortíssimos. Por isso, pode-se dizer que esta edição está bem atualizada sim. Podem comprar sem medo.

I give a 5 star because the book it's self is fine and if I could read it it would be great. I messed up I got a foreign language book instead. But I won't give it less stars for the book it's self or the seller this was entirely my mistake.
