Leonardo da Vinci Treasury CD-ROM and Book (Dover Electronic Clip Art) Details
An architect, sculptor, painter, inventor, and engineer centuries ahead of his time, Leonardo da Vinci was the archetypical "Renaissance Man." As famous for his paintings of the Mona Lisa and The Last Supper as he was for devising plans for the helicopter, and tank and solar power, he also advanced the study of anatomy, astronomy, and civil engineering. This multifaceted overview of the celebrated genius's work, presented in both color and black-and-white, includes a splendid selection of his portraits and figures, along with detailed anatomical and scientific drawings from his many notebooks. 206 illustrations.
Reviews
This Dover CD-Rom/Book of clip art is a great sampling of the genius's diverse body of work. It ranges from full color portraits to drawings of inventions, human form/anatomy, etc. The other cool thing is that there are detail images of larger portraits and drawings which further make the release unique. The back cover is an index of his artwork which is a nice addition and huge plus. Not all clip art books have indexes in print. Buy this and you won't be disappointed. Professional artists or crafters will find this very useful in their painting, drawing, sculpting, mixed media or collage work. His body of work is still relevant today. This is one of the best Dover publications made and a definite favorite.
