- As great a scientist as he was an artist, Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) produced aesthetic masterpieces such as The Last Supper and Mona Lisa alongside The Vitruvian Man, which was also a study in proportions. Most of his projects drew on multiple disciplines, and his notebooks reveal a mind deeply engaged with math, engineering, botany, geology, and more. In this new biography of the quintessential Renaissance man, Isaacson draws extensively on these notebooks, which reveal da Vinci as a careful observer with an insatiable curiosity and a wide-ranging imagination. As a scholar, he absorbed knowledge, but as an innovator-and a left-handed, gay, vegetarian heretic-he also questioned it. Isaacson, author of award-winning biographies of Steve Jobs, Albert Einstein, Benjamin Franklin, and others, illuminates not just what da Vinci achieved, but how he did it.

By gum, he's got it, at last. It's VERROCHIO not VIRAGGIO, as he frequently repeated in other Aspen dialogues. But, hey, we're all human, and fallible.
Es curioso que la crítica no capte un hecho tan básico como que el Cenacolo es una obra filosófica inspirada en De amore, de Ficino.
