![]() Isaacson makes the case that Leonardo was a consummate innovator, a disrupter of commonplace verities, and an artist-anatomist-engineer whose titanic intellectual curiosity propelled him relentlessly into new regions of practice and inquiry.Īlthough, today, Leonardo is revered as a great painter of the Italian Renaissance - who painted “The Last Supper” and “Mona Lisa” - Isaacson reminds us that he was far more. Isaacson mines the artifacts of Leonardo Da Vinci’s life to support a resonant central theme: That he was a hands-on, intuitive genius in the author’s view, perhaps the greatest of all time. ![]() Zeroing in on all the known facts of his subject’s life, Walter Isaacson has created a formidable successor to his previous biographies of Benjamin Franklin, Albert Einstein, and Steve Jobs. This sumptuously produced book comes to us from one of America’s foremost and most readable professional biographers. ![]()
