Leonardo. The Complete Paintings and Drawings.

Leonardo da Vinci is a key figure of the Italian Renaissance. This XXL monograph presents all his paintings and nearly 700 drawings - the most comprehensive survey to date of the master artist, architect and inventor. Discover the finest subtleties in the brushstrokes that revolutionized art with full-page, detailed photographs.

Unparalleled in his ingenuity, technical prowess and curiosity, Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) embodies the humanist ideal of the Renaissance man: an incomparable master of painting, sculpture, cartography, anatomy, architecture - and much more. At the same time, it fascinates art historians, collectors and the millions of people who come annually to admire his works. Leonardo's appeal is as diffuse as his pursuits. His images permeate nearly every facet of Western culture - The Vitruvian Man is engraved in millions of euro coins, The Last Supper is considered the most reproduced religious painting in history, and the Mona Lisa has captivated countless artists and viewers for centuries.

This coffee-table book offers an unparalleled overview of Leonardo's life and work, including a catalogue raisonné of all the paintings. Through stunning full-bleed detail, we experience every measured brushstroke, each a testament to Leonardo's masterful skill.
