Curiosity was constant in Leonardo's entire life- like a devouring fever, this curiosity leads him, through the years, to concern himself with practically all matters, all incorporating in an uninterrupted stream of research, study and experiments. Astronomy andarchitecture, anatomy and machines of war and, naturally, painting. From the youthful Annunciation to the Lady oh the Ermine, from the Last Supper to the Mona Lisa: Leonardo's painting is also a relentless study of new techniques and ancient procedures, an unremitting practice of drawing and acute direct observation. This unique synthesis of art, science and technology is the subject ofthis volume, which restores all of the complexity to a figure-symbol of the Italian Renaissance.
