About this audiobook
This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
Hailing from the Italian Renaissance, Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci stands as a multifaceted genius, embodying the essence of a polymath. Renowned for his prowess as a painter, draughtsman, engineer, scientist, theorist, sculptor, and architect, Leonardo's impact during the High Renaissance reverberates across various disciplines. His journey to prominence commenced with his artistic endeavors, but it's the treasure trove of his notebooks that unveils the breadth of his intellect.
Within the pages of these notebooks, Leonardo meticulously documented sketches and notes that traversed the realms of anatomy, astronomy, botany, cartography, painting, and paleontology. This intellectual diversity encapsulated the Renaissance humanist ideal, showcasing Leonardo's ability to seamlessly intertwine artistic expression with scientific exploration. Often compared to Michelangelo, Leonardo's collective works continue to shape the artistic landscape for generations to come.
A visionary ahead of his time, Leonardo proposed inventions that were initially dismissed and ridiculed, only to be validated centuries later, attesting to the foresight embedded in his ideas. Born out of wedlock in Vinci, he found himself under the tutelage of the esteemed Andrea del Verrocchio in Florence. Despite commencing his career in the city, Milan beckoned, where he served Ludovico Sforza and garnered a following of imitators and students.
