Summary
Based on thousands of pages from Leonardo's astonishing notebooks and new discoveries about his life and work， Walter Isaacson weaves a narrative that connects his art to his science。 He shows how Leonardo's genius was based on skills we can improve in ourselves， such as passionate curiosity， careful observation， and an imagination so playful that it flirted with fantasy。 He produced the two most famous paintings in history， The Last Supper and the Mona Lisa。 But in his own mind， he was just as much a man of science and technology。 With a passion that sometimes became obsessive， he pursued innovative studies of anatomy， fossils， birds， the heart， flying machines， botany， geology， and weaponry。 His ability to stand at the crossroads of the humanities and the sciences， made iconic by his drawing of Vitruvian Man， made him history's most creative genius

The depth of the character far exceeded what I had anticipated starting off。 How this level of detail survives 500 years later is mind blowing。I wish Isaacson had spent fewer pages appreciating art in his own words and even fewer describing the process of validating whether some pieces were actually Leonardo's work。 The depth of the character far exceeded what I had anticipated starting off。 How this level of detail survives 500 years later is mind blowing。I wish Isaacson had spent fewer pages appreciating art in his own words and even fewer describing the process of validating whether some pieces were actually Leonardo's work。 。。。more

A bit overlong， but filled with excellent tidbits of information that we can all apply， even if we'll never come close to the genius of Leonardo。 A bit overlong， but filled with excellent tidbits of information that we can all apply， even if we'll never come close to the genius of Leonardo。 。。。more

Characteristically well written。 I like that the author occasionally interjects himself in the discussion， for example to say what he believes based on the evidence。 I enjoyed the book throughout。 It did get a little repetitive at times but that did serve to reinforce the themes of Leonardo’s life as told here。 The summary at the end was great。 I also like that it didn’t dive for too long into any one painting or work。

A detailed and informative recount of Leonardo's life， art， and scientific endeavors。 I appreciated the way Isaacson painted him， emphasizing his human tendencies and not over-glorifying him， but rather trying to understand him and his motivations， and viewing the events in his life as interconnected themes。 By detailed I mean Isaacson would give historical context to everything and everyone which， although I did not care for some of it， was great to have。 Also， I began to feel that some of the A detailed and informative recount of Leonardo's life， art， and scientific endeavors。 I appreciated the way Isaacson painted him， emphasizing his human tendencies and not over-glorifying him， but rather trying to understand him and his motivations， and viewing the events in his life as interconnected themes。 By detailed I mean Isaacson would give historical context to everything and everyone which， although I did not care for some of it， was great to have。 Also， I began to feel that some of the ideas and passages were repetitive halfway through， but because of how rich this book is （and because I was reading it over a long span of time） that did serve as a good refresher later。 For readers who are only interested in some chapters， or are reading this out of order， they would have no issue following and getting the full picture。 Two things bothered me throughout the book: 1。 The sense of authority I felt from Isaacson when it comes to describing Leonardo's art and drawing insights。 I cringed when he said， roughly， that if you stare at the Ginevra de' Benci long enough you will eventually see the hidden emotions。 He tries to tie this to feminism （"With Ginevra women were no longer presented as passive mannequins。。。"） even though that is not related at all。 Other insights and comments that frustrated me "we can never fully know true emotion from outer manifestations" and the Mona Lisa is "the most alive of any portrait ever painted"。 2。 Not enough context for Leonardo's scientific discoveries。 I think all sections of the book were well-researched， and I found it fascinating how many of Leonardo's theories had to be rediscovered。 My issue is that， it was sometimes unclear how original those ideas and theories were。 I often found myself wondering "okay but what was the common belief among scientists at the time？ Was it intuitive to other scientists？ How unique is that concept？ Did he really pioneer this method？"。 Not that I doubt Leonardo's competence， I just wished there was more context for us to evaluate how original and significant all those ideas were。 The last thing I want to touch on is the conclusion， and what to make of Leonardo's flaws。 I think "Learning from Leonardo" is a great idea for a section in the conclusion， summarizing Leonardo's traits while also giving a takeaway message for readers like me who read this to learn about Leonardo， and are not treating this purely as an academic text。 With that being said， I think it's important that we acknowledge that Leonardo's flaws were flaws， and we don't need to admire those。 Perfectionism， procrastination， and giving in to distractions， were all taken lightly。 All in all， it was an enjoyable journey still！ I recommend this to anyone who is even remotely curious about Leonardo da Vinci or the relationship between science and art， but who doesn't mind a lengthy read and is ready to annotate and go through a wealth of fascinating information。 。。。more

I enjoyed the book。 The writer was distinct， the book well researched and the writer continually recapped certain important events throughout the book。 I liked the chronological writing style。 On an age comparison basis it put my life on a similar path to that of Leonardo as I was born in 1952 exactly 500 years later。 When the writer explains certain developments at a particular age I could imagine how I felt at that same age and wondered at how masterful Leonardo was and how much he had achieve I enjoyed the book。 The writer was distinct， the book well researched and the writer continually recapped certain important events throughout the book。 I liked the chronological writing style。 On an age comparison basis it put my life on a similar path to that of Leonardo as I was born in 1952 exactly 500 years later。 When the writer explains certain developments at a particular age I could imagine how I felt at that same age and wondered at how masterful Leonardo was and how much he had achieved。 I’ve outlived him by 2 years at the moment， he died at the age of 67 in 1519。I have actually visited his birthplace in Vinci， just on the outskirts of Florence。 A tourist can actually enter the birth bedroom。 Leonardo was simply an unusual man and suffered some form of mental issue that placed him outside the norm。 The combination of a quirky mental state ， delegitimised by his father， to be gay and to some extent ostracised by the Florentine society， gave him an advantage to pursue what ever life he wanted。 He was not bound by social rules and did not have to follow in his father’s footsteps as a notary。 Leonardo wanted to think outside the square and observe and then invent。 He brilliantly described all that he achieved in the form of writings， drawings， architectural plans， anatomical drawings and of course paintings。 He made copious notes on just about everything he came across and in most cases those notes transposed into some practical experiment which ，if outsourced further， could have lead to the commercialisation of worthwhile inventions。 But many of Leonardo’s works and inventions ended unfinished as did many of his paintings。 Leonardo is in fact famous for not finishing many works 。 He would have sent customers crazy 。 He wasn’t a money man but only needed enough to get by。 He however did get very upset when he felt he was not paid a fair stipend whilst under the commission of various patrons。I think humanity needs people like Leonardo to come along from time to time。 They are on another intellectual level and are never satisfied until they resolve their riddle whether that be in the art world， the science world， mechanical design， architectural design， structural flow of water， war time armaments， anatomy and so on。 Once the concept had been proven， Leonardo found little incentive to go on to commercialise a breakthrough。 He had little intention of sharing his brilliance either and kept many works away from snooping eyes 。 His notes were written in a form of code that made them difficult to decipher by the common man。In our current time I think Elon Musk is a similar character to Leonardo。 Elon shuns convention but does commercialise his inventions 。 His electric vehicles， tunnel boring machines， space travel programs， satellite communications etc etc 。 We， as a society should let these extroverts do their thing because a lot of worthwhile advancements accrue to mankind。My main take away in appreciating Leonardo’s paintings is the use of sfumato。 He viewed a painting as if it were viewed live by the naked eye。 There are no distinct lines ， the character’s edges fad or waft in a smoky brilliance。 Difficult to explain but when you look at The Mona Lisa her face doesn’t end with an abrupt line but rather gently fused into supporting colours。 I never heard of sfumato before but it is effective。 A great educational read for me ，well done Walter Isaacson 。。。more

Denna bok är mer njutbar än nyttig。 Det vill inte säga att den inte är tänkvärd eller användbar， men den prioriterar genomgående det fascinerande och fantasieggande över det tråkigt användbara - precis som dess undersökningsobjekt gjorde。 Det är en bok som man ogärna avslutar。 Jag rekommenderar den varmt， både för tänkare， osäkra tonåringar， och de vars liv i vuxen ålder innehåller kreativa moment。 För alla er kommer den att komma till användning。

A detailed and well researched look into the life of this genius。 There are many lessons I can take away from the book， but one of the greatest is to always stay curious。 I also love the summary lessons that the author read at the end of the audiobook。 I need to copy those into a notebook I can be passed down to my grandchildren at some point in time。 But my notebooks will not have the fascinating drawings of Leonardo‘s。

I picked up this book because I enjoyed Walter Isaacson's classic biography of Steve Jobs so thoroughly， and because I was intrigued by the famed polymath Leonardo da Vinci， whose achievements in art， medicine， and engineering remain astonishing。In one sense， Isaacson does a good job covering Leonardo's remarkable life。 A bastard， gay， and vegetarian， Leonardo was an outsider from birth， and yet created some of the most memorable works of art of his age。 Isaacson's overall thesis is that Leonard I picked up this book because I enjoyed Walter Isaacson's classic biography of Steve Jobs so thoroughly， and because I was intrigued by the famed polymath Leonardo da Vinci， whose achievements in art， medicine， and engineering remain astonishing。In one sense， Isaacson does a good job covering Leonardo's remarkable life。 A bastard， gay， and vegetarian， Leonardo was an outsider from birth， and yet created some of the most memorable works of art of his age。 Isaacson's overall thesis is that Leonardo's ability to mix art with science led to greater achievements in both。 For example， his experiments with optics led to a refined understanding of perspective which was employed in The Last Supper， while his drawing ability led to advances in representing human anatomy in textbooks。However， I really think Isaacson could have done a better job。 First of all， this book is long and not especially cleanly edited。 On several occasions， I found myself reading paragraphs that were copied almost verbatim from earlier in the book。But more importantly， Isaacson seems too enamoured of his subject。 One reason why the Steve Jobs biography worked so well was because Isaacson was unafraid to demystify the iconic figure， revealing the neurotic and sometimes cruel man underneath。 The impression I got of Leonardo was that of a brilliant dilettante who often went back on his word， refused to complete commissions when they no longer interested him， and amassed a huge wealth of knowledge but was too lazy to publish it。 Is genius dimmed when it is not used for the betterment of those around it？ Isaacson contends no， and I do not agree with him。Leonardo's breakthroughs in cardiology， for example， were incredibly not rediscovered by science until the 1960s。 How many lives could potentially have been saved？ Leonardo never handed his masterpiece， the Mona Lisa， back to the woman who commissioned it， tinkering with the painting until his dying day。 Isaacson lauds Leonardo's perfectionism; I was feeling sorry for Lisa del Giocondo for wasting her money。 。。。more

The author's love for the subject clearly shines through the whole book， it must have been at least as much fun writing it as it was reading it。 Overall， it is a good "starter" book on LdV， and can be used as a stepping stone to more in-depth studies。 The author's love for the subject clearly shines through the whole book， it must have been at least as much fun writing it as it was reading it。 Overall， it is a good "starter" book on LdV， and can be used as a stepping stone to more in-depth studies。 。。。more

Leonardo da Vinci had an insatiable curiosity。 His drive to learn， for the sake of learning， was inspiring。 This is evident in his note to himself to "describe the tongue of a woodpecker" to see how it worked。The motif of "Sfumato" was particularly interesting。 In a literal sense of his artistic technique， but also how it applied to his life in a broader sense。 Blurring the lines of a variety of disciplines and of reality and fantasy。 I developed a greater appreciation for how math， art， anatomy Leonardo da Vinci had an insatiable curiosity。 His drive to learn， for the sake of learning， was inspiring。 This is evident in his note to himself to "describe the tongue of a woodpecker" to see how it worked。The motif of "Sfumato" was particularly interesting。 In a literal sense of his artistic technique， but also how it applied to his life in a broader sense。 Blurring the lines of a variety of disciplines and of reality and fantasy。 I developed a greater appreciation for how math， art， anatomy， science， engineering， etc。， are all connected。 It was very interesting to learn more about the Vitruvian Man （I was amazed by the geometry and art of our bodies）， the Last Supper， the madonna paintings， and the Mona Lisa。 The author helped bring to light the intricacies of his works and to dive deeper into meanings of minute details of his art。 I also was fascinated in his discoveries in anatomy， especially the aortic valve and the human dentition。 。。。more

I read the biography of Steve Jobs as well as Jennifer Doudna （scientist） by Isaacson， so thought I would give this a try。 It is a different sort of book since Leonardo is well known and lived 6 centuries ago， and the author is walking on a well-trodden path， since the first bio was written in the 1550 31 years after Leonardo's death by contemporary Vasari。 Leonardo also left behind numerous notebooks （13000 pages - These notebooks—originally loose papers of different types and sizes， were large I read the biography of Steve Jobs as well as Jennifer Doudna （scientist） by Isaacson， so thought I would give this a try。 It is a different sort of book since Leonardo is well known and lived 6 centuries ago， and the author is walking on a well-trodden path， since the first bio was written in the 1550 31 years after Leonardo's death by contemporary Vasari。 Leonardo also left behind numerous notebooks （13000 pages - These notebooks—originally loose papers of different types and sizes， were largely entrusted to Leonardo's pupil and heir Francesco Melzi after the master's death。） I do wonder why Isaacson chose Leonardo， as he wrote biographies in the 2003-2011 period and then writes this book after a book on the digital revolution。 In the intro， he states the reason as how the ability to synthesize connections across disciplines is the key to innovation and genius。。 Well that is true for many other historical figures as well as a 15th century Italian。。。。I did feel he did a good job at bringing Leonardo to life。 He organizes the book around the 25 or so works of art which still survive today， finishing with the famous Mona Lisa。 I learned that Leonardo was more of an anatomist/engineer/pageant producer/scientist than a painter。 Painting then was more of a trade， like metalworking， brickwork and other trades， and painters weren't really personalities until Leonardo。 Many of his scientific discoveries weren't published， such as his anatomy studies。 Leonardo was also interested in making better machines for waging war， and in fact sought work as an engineer rather than as a painter to Sforza， the Milanese ruler from 1479-1499。 He was commissioned to paint the Virgin of the Rocks for the Confraternity of the Immaculate Conception and The Last Supper for the monastery of Santa Maria delle Grazie in Milan， as well as an enormous equestrian stature， which he never finished。 Michaelangelo was a generation or so younger than Leonardo， and Michaelangelo was more of a sculptor。 They didn't interact much except during a brief period in Florence， but he did sit on a committee to decide the placement of the statue David by Michaelangelo。 Leonardo left many， many unfinished works。 In fact， you could say that procrastination was a theme of his life。 He carried around the Mona Lisa for over 15 years and died with it unfinished （in a sense）。 I learned quite a bit about his art from the book。 Of all the painters of the period， he seemed to use painting as a window to discovery about anatomy， motion and mystery of life。 I enjoyed the book despite not being an "art buff"。 The book was well-researched， with 37 pages of notes。 。。。more
