Leonardo the Florentine: A Study in Personality is a book written by Rachel Annand Taylor that explores the life and personality of Leonardo da Vinci, the famous Italian artist and inventor. The book provides a comprehensive analysis of Leonardo's life, from his early years in Florence to his later years in Milan and Rome. The author delves into the complex personality of Leonardo, examining his genius, creativity, and curiosity, as well as his flaws, such as his tendency to procrastinate and his difficulty in finishing projects. The book also explores Leonardo's relationships with his family, friends, and patrons, as well as his influence on the art and science of his time.Through extensive research and analysis, the author presents a nuanced portrait of Leonardo, shedding light on his motivations, beliefs, and inner workings. The book is a must-read for anyone interested in the life and works of one of the greatest minds in history.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.
