    As well as providing a slice of art history, this book also celebrates the intellect and love of learning and reminds us that the world needs eccentrics

    ... a lyrical text and stunning pictures by Laurence Anholt (together with some equally stunning illustrations by Leonardo himself). In all an entertaining introduction to the genius of Leonardo Da Vinci
