About the author
Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519), Renaissance man par excellence, is universally recognized as one of the most ingeniously talented individuals in human history. His contributions span a remarkable range of disciplines, including art, science, engineering, anatomy, and literature. As an author, Leonardo’s writings were disseminated primarily through his notebooks, which contained sketches, scientific diagrams, and his musings on life and art. ‘Leonardo da Vinci: Thoughts on Art & Life’, a compilation that crystallizes his extensive contemplations and philosophy, showcases the reflective aspect of his genius. Leonardo’s literary style is akin to his artistic sensibilities—detailed, profound, and methodical. Unlike conventional authors, his written legacy is not composed of structured books but rather collections of his myriad notes and journals that have been posthumously organized and published. His insights reveal a mind deeply inquisitive about the nature of reality and the potential of human creativity, offering a timeless window into the ethos of the Renaissance. Leonardo’s writings, though fragmentary, reflect a harmonious blend of art and scientific inquiry, embodying the Renaissance ideal of the ‘universal genius’.
