Publisher's Synopsis
Leonardo da Vinci (1452 - 1519), inspired the moniker "Renaissance Man". There was nothing this genius couldn't do - painter, sculptor architect, inventor, engineer, writer, mathematician, scientist, astronomer - except finish something. He notoriously designed, sketched, analyzed, problem-solved, and then abandoned more projects than he finished. The world is richer for the exquisite artworks he did complete, among them, the Mona Lisa hanging in the Louvre, Paris, France and the mural, The Last Supper in the Convent of Santa Maria delle Grazie in Milan, Italy. The Short Biographies series from Applewood's Benna Books imprint features short, intriguing, and entertaining biographies of world-renowned figures. Each beautiful hardcover book includes an interesting retelling of a single person's life, suitable for young adults and adults alike. These little gems will become beloved souvenirs of a favorite artist or a memorable trip to a museum.
