Compelled as we all are in our age to narrow specialization, we find it difficult to understand the concept of 'universal genius,' in art or in any other domain. Leonardo, like all the thinkers of his time, held that science is one, that there is one art alone and that any superior man can examine some particular problem only in its relationship to all the rest: he believed, the same as they did, that it was not impossible to achieve such an undertaking. As his genius grew maturer, his art became more and more encyclopaedic, not only in his own field but - to a larger extent - in his general relations with life and thought.Leonardo da Vinci, is about the painter and inventor that lived from 1452 to 1519. The book includes text sections: Leonardo To-day; Leonardo Da Vinci: On Painting; Leonardo and His Century; Leonardo and Modern Criticism; Chronology and Concordances; Bibliography; and List of Illustrations. Color pages show his paintings, along with some close-up views, and his sketches.English edition, translated from the original Romanian.
