About This Item
Dutton Children's Books, 2003. 1st Edition 15th Printing. Hardcover. New/New. Robert Byrd. CONDITION: NEW 2003 Dutton Children's Books large (tall) hardcover (pictorial boards) & dust jacket (in mylar cover IF I can find one large enough for it), first edition, 15th printing (c. 2015). Beautiful & detailed color illustrations by the Author. Decorated end pages. CONTENT: Famous in his time as a painter, prankster, and philosopher, Leonardo da Vinci was also a musician, sculptor, and engineer for dukes, popes, and kings. What remains of his work-from futuristic designs and scientific inquiry to artwork of ethereal beauty-reveals the ambitious, unpredictable brilliance of a visionary, and a timeless dreamer. Robert Byrd celebrates this passionate, playful genius in a glowing picture book replete with the richness and imagination of Leonardo's own notebooks. Twenty lavish spreads, including side drawings, supplemental texts, and quotes from Leonardo's writings, highlight distinct periods and make the master's art, jokes, explorations, and inventions wonderfully vivid and accessible. A striking tribute to an irrepressible mind and to the potential within all who are curious.
