Editorial Review Product Description Forexample, to develop curiosity, one of the exercises has you ask peopleyou respect to assess your strengths and weaknesses and to offer waysin which you could improve. Uncomfortable? Probably, for bothparties. But if you're not curious about how others perceive you,you've closed off entire corridors leading toward self-knowledge andself-improvement. In the section on knowledge and experience, Gelb hasyou write down each new word you come across, along with itsdefinition, and practice using it as often as you can. Da Vinci, hesays, recorded 9,000 words this way. As Gelb notes in hisintroduction, this isn't a book that can be fully used up in a week oreven a year; it could take 10 years to perform all these exercises. Itwould take months just to listen to the 10 greatest pieces ofclassical music he lists in the section on sensual refinement, andthen listen to them played by different orchestras and conductors todistinguish subtle differences in interpretation. And, certainly, thesimmeringly sensual recipes listed in that same section could lead tosome very cozy evenings over the course of a lifetime. --LouSchuler Customer Reviews (10)

Editorial Review Product Description An unwanted child. A brilliant genius. Born in 1452 to a peasant woman and a country gentleman, Leonardo da Vinci was one of the most amazing people who ever lived. He grew up to be a great painter, sculptor, architect, scientist, and inventor. As a boy, Leonardo was apprenticed to a famous artist. But he quickly became more skillful than his teacher, and his passionate interests went far beyond art. Fascinated with the human body, he carried out his own experiments in secret. He filled thousands of pages with plans for incredible inventions including a submarine, an air-cooling system, "glasses to see the moon large," and even a flying machine! In this magnificent addition to a distinguished series that includes Cleopatra, Joan of Arc, and Bard of Avon: The Story of William Shakespeare, award-winning author-artist Diane Stanley blends wonderful storytelling with gorgeous illustrations to convey the A 1996 ALA Notable Book 00-01 Land of Enchantment Book Award Masterlist (Gr. 3-6) Customer Reviews (8)
Great book for kids
www.lazyreaders.com book club recommendation for April 2006
His name is Leo Undoubtedly, the actual drawings and sketches Leonardo made in his lifetime are some of the best parts of this book.It would have been nice if Stanley had included more of them in the story.Leonardo's paintings are nicely presented, but they're usually seen from a distance.At no point do we get a detailed and close look at any art that Leonardo created.Finally, a timeline would have been helpful in this story, but it has not been included. None of this is to say that Stanley hasn't taken a difficult subject and made an interesting book out of it.The final product is a bit too advanced for those children accustomed to reading picture books, but older kids may shy away from the type of book they would consider "babyish".Open minded children may be the best audience for this piece of non-fiction.For those of you who would like something a little more in depth and interesting, I recommend "Leonardo: Beautiful Dreamer".In interesting book that suffers from an array of tiny nagging problems.
Leonard Da Vinci, the quintessential Renaissance Man Stanley does some fascinating things with the art throughout this book.She puts reproductions of Da Vinci's actual paintings into her own works and includes various drawings by Da Vinci to complement her text.Young readers will learn about the highlights of Da Vinci's life, both as an artist and as an inventor.Consequently, they will see not only the painting of "The Last Supper" but the flying machine he designed.In a fascinating postscript Stanley details what happened to the grave of Da Vinci and what few of his paintings remain.Stanley provides an excellent introduction to the life of the original Renaissance Man.
A typical Diane Stanley Book! |

Dive into the Renaissance with Da Vinci
once I find one error, how can I tell?

A juvenile history of Da Vinci with 21 related activites The biography is divided into four sections, focusing on Leonardo's youth in Vinci, his years as a young apprentice, his period of greatest productivity in Milan, and his final years in Venice and France.The volume is illustrated with dozens of pictures of Leonardo's paintings and sketches, and the back of the book includes a Glossary, Biographies of key Renaissance artists (Botticelli, Michelangeo, etc.) and historical figures (Cesare Borgia, Ludovico Sforza, etc.), Web Sites to Explore, places where you can see some of Da Vinci's work, a Bibliography, Credits, and an Index. The other half of the book are the 21 activities and the art lessons, because in addition to detailing da Vinci's life Herbert talks about perspective, vanishing points and the like.Some of these are just basic art lessons, such as sketching things by observing nature, painting birds, decorating a jar for holding paintbrushes, and making a small picture frame.Others are specific to the artwork of da Vinci, such as making a life mask, lute, notebook, a parachute kite, and learning to measure human bodies the way Leonardo did.You can even make a minestrone soup in honor of Leonardo the vegetarian or Salai's aniseed sweets.Still others deal with the history of the time, such as making a banner. The net result is that "Leonardo da Vinci for Kids" does more than tell the story of his life and show examples of his great artwork, but provides young readers with an opportunity to try and do the same things.This book is also of great use to teachers doing units on Leonardo, the Renaissance, or art, who will be able to find both information and activities they can use in class.

Editorial Review Product Description * Part I explores Leonardo's life and work in ten chapters, drawing upon his letters, contracts, diary entries, and writings. All of his paintings are presented and interpreted in depth, with The Annunciation and The Last Supper featured on fold-out pages. * Part II comprises a catalogue raisonne of Leonardo's paintings, which covers all of his surviving and lost painted works and includes texts describing their states of preservation. Each and every painting that can be justifiably attributed to Leonardo is included here; thanks to new findings and scientific research, this is the first time his definitive painting oeuvre is being published. * Part III contains an extensive catalogue of his drawings (numbering in the thousands, they cannot all be reproduced in one book); 663 are presented, arranged by category (architecture, technical, anatomical, figures, proportion, cartography, etc). Over half of the drawings included were provided by Windsor Castle, marking the first time that the Castle has allowed a publisher to reproduce so many of their drawings. This sumptuous TASCHEN offering is the most thorough and beautifully produced Leonardo book ever published. Customer Reviews (25)

Editorial Review Product Description Such beloved paintings as the Mona Lisa, The Madonna of the Rocks, and The Annunciation are all showcased in this magisterial book, and the restored Last Supper is seen in all its richness of detail and tone. Scholar Pietro Marani explores Leonardo's fertile and original intellect and his astounding capacity for imbuing the human figure with emotion, sublime beauty, and grace. Preparatory drawings and studies are accompanied by enlarged details that reveal the painter's extraordinary sense of light and shadow, color and atmosphere-the fugitive, intangible quality we call "Leonardesque." Here is a book that does justice to the magnificent accomplishments of this great artist. Marani combines connoisseurship with the technological tools of art history, such as x-ray exploration of revisions in a painting's underdrawings. He has spent his life studying Leonardo's paintings firsthand, so closely that he can point to where the artist lightly blurred layers of paint with his fingertips to suggest the soft skin around the eyes of his portraits of women. A chapter is devoted to Marani's belief that Leonardo was profoundly influenced by ancient artworks rather than being exclusively the "modern genius" described by Romantic critics. The research is fully footnoted, with appendices including checklists of paintings and lost paintings and a collection of all known primary documents referring directly to Leonardo's life. From its enigmatic cover (the lips of the artist's exquisite portrait of Ginevra de' Benci) to its extensive bibliography, Leonardo da Vinci comes the closest this reviewer has seen to being the ultimate art book. --John Stevenson Customer Reviews (7)

Editorial Review Product Description Leonardo has left us a mere handful of mostly unfinished--albeit magnificent--paintings. Yet, as Bambach explains, the quantity of his extant drawings(about 4,000 or more) is about 4 times that of the most prolific16th-century draftsman. To be sure, it is through these drawings, alongwith the eloquent commentary, that Leonardo's infinite and dynamic creativepower can best be glimpsed. From the whimsical to the sublime, from thescientific to the mechanical, these drawings reveal Leonardo's dependence onobservation and nature, as well as his tireless use of drawing as a means to explore and express his ever-probing mind. Thecatalogue takes us on a chronological journey,revealing the vast influence of Leonardo's teacher Andrea Verrocchio, andsubsequently shows us Leonardo's influence on his students and beyond. The beauty, power, and scope of this book areevidence that there is no end to pondering his remarkable and enigmatic genius. --Silvana Tropea Customer Reviews (3)
