Evaluation Epithetical Books Leonardo: The Artist and the Man

I think this (along with Fox's Alexander the Great) was one of the first biographies I ever read. I have always been amazed by the genius and legend of Leonardo and learned enormous amounts about him from this beautiful biography by Serge Brambly. After reading it, you will want to visit the Loire Valley and enjoy his double-helix staircase at Chambord and the love shack Le Clos Lucé that François I built for him. In Italy, you need to reserve in advance, but it is more than worth it to see The

I only read this because my son picked it out for me and I didn't have the heart not to. It took me well over a month to finish and I felt every day of it. I'm no stranger to epic-length biographies, but this one was more plodding than most. It didn't help that the editors made the bizarre decision to not reproduce in color all of Da Vinci's major paintings, despite there being in-depth analysis of each one. Some, such as the Virgin and Child with St. Anne, were excluded all together. Very

Honestly, I knew next to nothing about Leonardo going into this, and now I'm fascinated by his talent, the breadth of his interests, and his inability to finish most of what he started. He was possibly the greatest painter in an age of brilliant artists, but his reputation is based on such a small number of surviving works, many of which suffer from serous issues of decay or poor restoration attempts. His insatiable curiosity led him to investigate anatomy to levels which hadn't been done

Broad bio of Da Vinci, but at the same time not very satisfying. Explained the incidents and the people, but not not as indepth as I had hoped. I learned a great deal about him and the times, but feel that other books on the great man is necessary.

Great book on Leonardo da Vinci's life showing that he really wanted to be an engineer rather then a painter.

Excellent biography of the man his context and accomplishments without delving into lionization.

I could not finish this book. I read the first 130 pages, but could not make it. It is too analytic and scholarly. I just want a decent biography--I don't need someone to compare three conflicting sources and argue why he believes one way and not the others. Not at this point in time, anyway.This is the second attempt to learn about Leonardo that has failed. I just want a simple primer; an intro in to the life of the man. Any recommendations?
