Maggiori informazioni sul libro
Eavesdrop on Leonardo's 'table talk' with Ross King, who reveals the playful and fanciful side of this polymathic genius. Bestselling author and scholar Ross King guides readers through the lesser-known aspects of Leonardo da Vinci, showcasing his bestiary, fables, jests, and riddles. This narrative offers a unique glimpse into Leonardo's imagination, or fantasia, within the context of his time, presenting a portrait that has remained largely hidden from all but the most diligent scholars. King's authority in Italian Renaissance art makes this original work a compelling read. The book features little-known writings of Leonardo, along with facsimiles of his drawings from the Royal Collection at Windsor. Each section is uniquely designed, embodying the essence of fantasia. Beautifully presented in Tuscan orange and sepia on rich cream paper, it boasts a hardcover with gold foil, Smythe-sewn binding, and a ribbon marker. Using acid-free, archival-quality paper, this special commission by Levenger Press is exclusively for Levenger customers and is printed in the USA.
