Product Description
Product Description
This captivating book provides the reader with a unique insight into the life and work of one of history's most intriguing figures. All of Leonardo Da Vinci's work is presented in this compact volume - from his paintings and frescos, to detailed reproductions of his remarkable encrypted notebooks. As well as featuring each individual artwork, sections of each are shown in isolation to reveal incredible details - for example, the different levels of perspective between the background sections of the "Mona Lisa", and the disembodied hand in "The Last Supper". 640 pages of colour artworks and photographs of Da Vinci's original notebooks, accompanied by fascinating biographical and historical details are here.

Small, but very cool,

This review is from: Leonardo da Vinci: the Complete Works (Hardcover)
This little book is a wealth of information. I did not expect it to be so small. It is very thick, but is only about 4 inches square. The upside is that it can be thrown in your bag easily to take on the go.

Not What I Expected,
By Kristin W. London "Buck-0-Five" - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Leonardo da Vinci: the Complete Works (Hardcover)
Perhaps I missed a portion of the description, but I expected this to be a nicer, LARGER, hardcover book. It's only about 5" square. The info is okay, but it was not what I expected.

A Nice, Pocket-sized Reference,
By P. Alther - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Leonardo da Vinci: the Complete Works (Hardcover)
Be aware this this is a small book, and you will not be able to view the paintings in very great detail. However, this is a good book to have when referring to S. da Vinci's art on the go and you don't want to lug around a huge book and it's also nice to have when pressed for space. As it says, it's a complete catalog of S. da Vinci's work and the pictures are quite beautiful, even at such a minute size.This is a good book for art-aficionados, art-students, those that want to be prepared when going to museums to acclimate themselves with the works, and anything and everything in-between. As previously mentioned, it's a nice book to have when you're on-the-go. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful

Brand New and Binder is terrible,
By Fox - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Leonardo da Vinci: the Complete Works (Hardcover)
This was a brand new book I purchased and the binder is falling apart and unglued from the backing. Very terrible product. I can't even enjoy the book because I'm afraid I'll rip it apart.
