Leonardo da Vinci

Walter Isaacson creates a story that unites Leonardo's art and science based on hundreds of pages from his amazing notebooks and fresh insights into his life and work. He demonstrates how the foundation of Leonardo's creativity was a set of abilities we can develop in ourselves, including intense curiosity, keen observation, and a lively imagination that bordered on fantasy. He created The Last Supper and Mona Lisa, the two most well-known paintings in history. However, he considered himself to be equally passionate about science and technology. He investigated novel subjects like as anatomy, fossils, birds, the heart, flying machines, botany, geology, and weapons with an intense enthusiasm that sometimes bordered on obsession. The greatest creative mind in history, he was able to stand at the nexus of the humanities and sciences, immortalised by his picture of Vitruvian Man.
