Kathleen (itpdx)
Isaacson continues his exploration of genius with an outstanding biography of Leonardo da Vinci.
The author follows da Vinci mostly chronologically but gathers ideas, themes together—portraits, flight, anatomy to illustrate da Vinci’s amazing work.

I was most surprised by da Vinci’s design and production of pageants and theater including sets and costumes!
