Publisher Description

An artist, scientist, engineer, visionary and all-round genius, Leonardo Da Vinci (1452–1519) was arguably the main figure of the Renaissance.

This project shows on no account a scientific investigation. Its aims are: first to provide a best possible overview about the work of Leonardo da Vinci and secondly to optimize the digitalized art work this means to show a maximum number of the original drawings with a preferable low loss of quality.

Davinci the Engineer

While many of Florence's and Italy in general renaissance thinkers, where brilliant artists, sculptures, and open eyes thinkers, few can compare to the foresight and understanding of modern and future engineering. Stifled by the limits capabilities, knowledge, technology, and Papal dogmatic influence, his frustration throughout his amazing life was controlled by mans ignorance and restrictions. Beyond D Medici and some foreign patrons few where Willing to openly support his ideas from ignorance and from fear of heretic labeling by the Catholic Church. Only the bold who where willing to defy Papal power supported Davinci's brilliance and accepted his manic eccentric behavior as being a hand in hand with his unparalleled brilliance.

In this book, DaVinci's sketches that where preserved are available for a true fan, curious learner and dedicated scholar. Sans all of the mystique and legend associated with his clandestine organizations, Masonic ties, and often magical circles of still unknown, yet brilliant collaborators, this book is a collection of 153 illustrations that wordlessly express the brilliant engineering mind of a man who misfortune placed on this planet 500 years before his visions could be realized.

While his writings flow from youthful rant to more concise philosophical, and esoteric lessons in his doltage, brilliant reads as they are. This book is pencil and parchment, visually expressive, concise, energetic, vocalizing wordlessly the man who can truly be considered the archetype for the term" Renaissance man"

Genius!!
