The book explores the various aspects of Leonardo's personality, including his creativity, intelligence, and eccentricity, as well as his personal relationships, his political and social views, and his approach to art and science. Drawing on extensive research and analysis of Leonardo's writings, artwork, and historical context, Taylor provides a nuanced and detailed portrait of this complex and fascinating figure. The book is an engaging and accessible read for anyone interested in the life and legacy of Leonardo da Vinci, as well as the history of art and science in Renaissance Italy.The author presents this book on Leonardo da Vinci by describing one side of the psychical history of the man. She contemplated the full tide of Renaissance energy as it swept around his art, tried to restore the cities in which he dwelt, and reanimated the people who decided his movements. It is because only this kind of indirect approach offered any novel angle from which to consider this unique and baffling figure.
