janiebee 's review for:
Leonardo Da Vinci
by Walter Isaacson
This biography is mind boggling thorough. My favorite parts are where Isaacson analyzes the paintings. I hadn't realized, though, how much da Vinci disliked painting and how few he actually finished. Some additional details I wish had been included are the provenance of the paintings. Some other things that fascinated me was his obsession with the circle and the square. I do see that genius can be a blessing and a curse.
