His notebooks reveal a spirit of scientific inquiry and mechanical inventiveness that were centuries ahead of his time.Perhaps the greatest of Renaissance painters, Leonardo yet left only a handful of completed paintings. Here, among others, are "The Last Supper, the Mona Lisa, "and "The Virgin of the Rocks," Also enriching the book are a commentary on each work, biographical details, and a timeline indicating the important events of Leonardo's era.
