sourblanket 's review for:
Leonardo Da Vinci
by Walter Isaacson
It could be a lot shorter and still carry the same message. Some parts are very repetitive. Such as: the analogy between earth and human body, the use of sfumato technique as an analogy, his inability to finish paintings etc. There are some sections of this book I didn't understand why there were there. Is it really important to mention the conflict about if a painting does belong to Leonardo or not? I'm pretty sure I won't remember anything about that a month later.
There were great parts too, I learned a lot about him, but does it justify the total reading time I'm not sure. I also liked that author had no problem with Leonardo's homosexuality thus he didn't need to censor it.
