The most comprehensive collection of Leonardo da Vinci's drawings provides an intimate look at the mind and hand of the genius.
On the heels of Walter Isaacson's beloved new biography (Fall 2017), and increased media attention (as 2019 marks the 500th anniversary of the artist's death), this book's appeal will extend beyond the devoted and numerous members of Leonardo's audience to reach a popular one.
"Leonardo da Vinci: A Life in Drawing marks a unique milestone offering a generous souvenir of his extensive paper-based oeuvre, a miraculously well-preserved body of knowledge still remarkably ahead of its time." —New York Journal of Books
Martin Clayton is Head of Prints and Drawings for Royal Collection Trust at Windsor Castle and a specialist in the drawings of Leonardo da Vinci. His recent publications include Portrait of the Artist (2016) and Castiglione: Lost Genuis (2013).
