Leonardo Da Vinci by Maurice W. Brockwell is a comprehensive biography of the renowned Italian artist, inventor, and scientist. The book delves into Da Vinci's life, from his early years in Tuscany to his later years in France, exploring his artistic and scientific achievements, as well as his personal life and relationships. The author provides detailed accounts of Da Vinci's most famous works, including the Mona Lisa and The Last Supper, and examines his groundbreaking contributions to fields such as anatomy, engineering, and optics. Brockwell also explores the controversies surrounding Da Vinci's life, including his alleged homosexuality and his involvement in secret societies. Overall, Leonardo Da Vinci is a fascinating and informative read for anyone interested in the life and work of one of history's most iconic figures.Leonardo has succeeded in producing the effect of the coup de theatre at the moment when Jesus said One of you shall betray me. Instantly the various apostles realise that there is a traitor among their number, and show by their different gestures their different passions, and reveal their different temperaments. On the left of Christ is St. John who is overcome with grief and is interrogated by the impetuous Peter, near whom is seated Judas Iscariot who, while affecting the calm of innocence, is quite unable to conceal his inner feelings; he instinctively clasps the money-bag and in so doing upsets the salt-cellar.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
