Fascinating perspective about the biggest genius of all times. Easy to read while at the same time full of details and facts.

Starting my 50s, this is what I needed to keep learning. Thank you Master Da Vinci !!

A brilliant man. A man ahead of his times.

Isaacson’s biography of Leonardo is engaging and inspiring. Capturing the deep and interesting personality and accomplishments of this genius so poignantly, he leads you to attempt to make a connection between how Leonardo’s curiosity, intelligence and natural way can help the reader be their best self and better our world.

Leonardo was so much more than an artist. He made so many contributions to science. He was the most curious person who ever lived.

A great book about a great man by an excellent author. So many images and details. What a genius he was and what a life he had.

Interesting tidbits, great catalog of drawings, and many things we can emulate from the great Leonardo, but there’s just no reason for such a long book. Tough to get through.

Very engaging and informative- the writing was excellent- though by the end I felt he hammered home his main points rather exhaustively. I like the images in the text and his description of the science that DaVinci incorporated into his painting

I wish I had read this book prior to my 3 trips to Italy. I loved the chronological description of Leonardo’s life and works, so much unknown to me. Some technical portions were a bit too lengthy and detailed for my taste. However, I did learn a lot!

If you enjoy art and art history you will enjoy this book. If not, it is a laborious read.
