Description
Famous in his time as a painter, prankster, and philosopher, Leonardo da Vinci was also a musician, sculptor, and engineer for dukes, popes, and kings. What remains of his work-from futuristic designs and scientific inquiry to artwork of ethereal beauty-reveals the ambitious, unpredictable brilliance of a visionary, and a timeless dreamer.
First Sentence
"This writing in detail about the kites seems to be my destiny, for among my earliest childhood memories, it seemed to me that, as I lay in my cradle, a kite flew down and opened my mouth with its tail, and struck me several times with its tail inside my lips."
Description
Illustrations and text portray the life of Leonardo da Vinci, who gained fame as an artist through such works as the Mona Lisa, and as a scientist by studying various subjects including human anatomy and flight.
