Leonardo Da Vinci by Maurice W. Brockwell is a comprehensive biography of the famous Italian artist, inventor, and scientist. The book explores Da Vinci's life, including his childhood, education, and artistic career. It delves into his artistic techniques, such as his use of light and shadow, and his innovative approach to anatomy. The book also examines Da Vinci's scientific and engineering pursuits, including his designs for flying machines and his studies of human anatomy. Throughout the book, Brockwell provides insight into Da Vinci's personal life, his relationships, and his impact on the art world. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the life and work of one of the most influential figures in history.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.
