| Summary |
'A personally compelling introduction to Leonardo's genius ... [this book] 'remains a model for a short, unified study of a creative personality in any field,' writes Martin Kemp in a new introduction to this latest edition of Kenneth Clark's classic monograph on Leonardo's art. First published in 1939, its insight, graceful scholarship and capacity to convey excitment place it unequivocally in the great tradition of Leonardo biography that runs from Vasari's Lives. As Sir Harold Nicolson has said, 'It is so intelligent, so modest, so beautifully written and so wise.'--Back cover |
