52 Da vinci Compleet nu aanbieding van € 150,00 voor maar € 49,99

Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) possessed one of the greatest
minds of all time; his importance and influence are inestimable.
This XXL-format comprehensive survey is the most complete
book ever made on the subject of this Italian painter, sculptor,
architect, engineer, scientist and all-around genius. With huge,
full-bleed details of Leonardo's masterworks, this highly original
publication allows the reader to inspect the subtlest facets of his
brushstrokes.

* Part I explores Leonardo's life and work in ten chapters,
drawing upon his letters, contracts, diary entries, and writings. All
of his paintings are presented and interpreted in depth, with The
Annunciation and The Last Supper featured on large
double-spreads.
* Part II comprises a catalogue raisonné of Leonardo's paintings,
which covers all of his surviving and lost painted works and
includes texts describing their states of preservation. Each and
every painting that can be justifiably attributed to Leonardo is
included here; thanks to new findings and scientific research, this
is the first time his definitive painting oeuvre is being published.
* Part III contains an extensive catalogue of his drawings
(numbering in the thousands, they cannot all be reproduced in
one book); 663 are presented, arranged by category (architecture,
technical, anatomical, figures, proportion, cartography, etc). Over
half of the drawings included were provided by Windsor Castle,
marking the first time that the Castle has allowed a publisher to
reproduce so many of their drawings.

This sumptuous TASCHEN offering is the most thorough and
beautifully produced Leonardo book ever published.
