Leonardo Da Vinci

by Emily Hahn Author

Leonardo da Vinci was trained to be a painter and, in fact, produced what is arguably the most famous painting in the world, the Mona Lisa. Yet Leonardo's interests and achievements spread far beyond the world or art. He studied astronomy, botany, anatomy, and geology, and he designed and drew plans for hundreds of inventions, many of which foreshadowed the achievements of men who lived four hundred years after Leonardo died. Emily Hahn brings this quintessential Rennaissance Man to life in her delightful and easy to read biography.
