Renaissance polymath: artist, inventor, perpetually curious.

If you've ever been simultaneously inspired and overwhelmed by your own ideas, you'll find a kindred spirit in Leonardo da Vinci. This book not only serves as a window into the life of a Renaissance genius but also humanizes him by discussing his notorious difficulty with finishing projects. It's a light and accessible read that showcases how one of history's greatest minds grappled with problems we still face today.

Description

Leonardo da Vinci was a gifted painter, talented musician, and dedicated scientist and inventor, designing flying machines, submarines, and even helicopters. Yet he had a hard time finishing things, a problem anyone can relate to. Only thirteen paintings are known to be his; as for the illustrated encyclopedia he intended to create, all that he left were thousands of disorganized notebook pages. Here is an accessible portrait of a fascinating man who lived at a fascinating time—Italy during the Renaissance.
