Summary

Creativity is in our bones. It is found in our very DNA, something not known to Leonardo da Vinci or anyone else who lived in his day and time. All he did was to uncover the hidden genius which lay within himself, and he used that inner genius to the very best of his abilities. Leonardo da Vinci is best known for some of the world's most masterful paintings, but he was so much more than merely another artist with paints and brushes. Born to a peasant woman in 1452, Leonardo would go on to astound the world he lived in with his artistry and his inventions. Inside you will hear about....

  • Early Beginnings and the Italian Renaissance
  • Leonardo's Personal Life
  • Leonardo's Artistic Beginnings
  • Early Paintings 1480s-1490s
  • Paintings of the 16th Century
  • Scientific Studies and Anatomy
  • Engineering Inventions
  • Later Life and Old Age
  • Facts about Leonardo da Vinci

In this audiobook, discover for yourself the brilliance of da Vinci. Uncover some of his best works of art, including the Mona Lisa, and see why he kept so many notebooks and observations about everything under the sun. See where his far-reaching talents led him, and how you can be more like Leonardo da Vinci than you ever thought possible.

Lacked literary style and content.

Narration was good enough but the content was bland and unimaginative. Simple read with no more insights than Wikipedia.
