The #1 New York Times bestseller

“Luminous.” —The Daily Beast
He was history’s most creative genius. What secrets can he teach us?
The author of the acclaimed bestsellers Steve Jobs, Einstein, and Benjamin Franklin brings Leonardo da Vinci to life in this exciting new biography.
Based on thousands of pages from Leonardo’s astonishing notebooks and new discoveries about his life and work, Walter Isaacson weaves a narrative that connects his art to his science. He shows how Leonardo’s genius was based on skills we can improve in ourselves, such as passionate curiosity, careful observation, and an imagination so playful that it flirted with fantasy.
He produced the two most famous paintings in history, The Last Supper and the Mona Lisa. But in his own mind, he was just as much a man of science and technology. With a passion that sometimes became obsessive, he pursued innovative studies of anatomy, fossils, birds, the heart, flying machines, botany, geology, and weaponry. His ability to stand at the crossroads of the humanities and the sciences, made iconic by his drawing of Vitruvian Man, made him history’s most creative genius.
His creativity, like that of other great innovators, came from having wide-ranging passions. He peeled flesh off the faces of cadavers, drew the muscles that move the lips, and then painted history’s most memorable smile. He explored the math of optics, showed how light rays strike the cornea, and produced illusions of changing perspectives in The Last Supper. Isaacson also describes how Leonardo’s lifelong enthusiasm for staging theatrical productions informed his paintings and inventions.
Leonardo’s delight at combining diverse passions remains the ultimate recipe for creativity. So, too, does his ease at being a bit of a misfit: illegitimate, gay, vegetarian, left-handed, easily distracted, and at times heretical. His life should remind us of the importance of instilling, both in ourselves and our children, not just received knowledge but a willingness to question it—to be imaginative and, like talented misfits and rebels in any era, to think different.
##学画者恐怕都听过这个故事:达·芬奇少年时拜师学画,老师要他先画鸡蛋,这对我们的天才来说太单调了。可他理解了老师的苦心,潜心揣摩了几年鸡蛋画法,自此画技如神。这个故事有几分可信呢?至少从达·芬奇日后朝三暮四“烂尾王”的举动,很难想象他曾经过此等枯燥的训练。不...
评分##这本写得非常流畅,以Leonardo的笔记为线索,一点点展开他倾注心血和热情的点点滴滴……作者始终在强调,我们不能否认Leonardo是天才,有着我们无法企及的天赋,但同时要看的他也是一个活生生的人,也正因如此,他的画作、研究才变得更为生动和鲜活,充满革命性以及发展的可能……最重要的点可能是,带着好奇心关注一切“无用”的东西,带着热情深挖到极致,始终相信提升到可能(这也许不会让我成为一个全能大师,但是给了我procrastinate的理由(bushi
评分##Sure, all the more reason to fuck around and procrastinate
评分##写的太事无巨细,像流水账。我和达芬奇唯一相似的地方是都是拖延症晚期。 看完《达芬奇传》和《圣母百花大教堂的传奇》,再加上自己在佛罗伦萨的所景所观,谈一谈佛罗伦萨和达芬奇。 世界四大教堂之一的圣母百花大教堂的穹顶欢迎着每一位到访的游客。 乔托钟塔下布鲁内莱斯基花了175年才彰显了巴洛克式的浪漫,文艺宝库的乌菲兹美术馆前人来人往。 佛...

评分达芬奇,一个我们无比熟悉的人物,与一些历史人物我们往往通过其经历和对历史事件的影响去了解他们不同,我们对于这类艺术人物的认知往往与他们的作品的一些“符号”关联。 对于达芬奇,大部分人首先想到的是《蒙娜丽莎的微笑》,接着可能是我们很小就学过的达芬奇画蛋的故事。...
