BR2-04: Leonardo da Vinci (ball, 2007)

"Leonardo! Where are you?" (ball, 2007, p.3)

This book is about Leonardo da Vinci. Do you know him? He is an artist representing the Renaissance term of Italy, and is called uomo universale etc. His real name is Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci.

It has left the footprint to a wide range of fields through the technology of pictures, sculpture, construction, engineering works, a human body, and others. Elaborate pictures, such as the "Last Supper" and "Mona Liza", are the works representing the peak term Renaissance.

The cover of this book is the Mona Lisa most famous for his work. This book has used a lot of photographs for the illustration. For example, the village of Vinci, deep in the Italian countryside, where Leonardo grew up, Florence today, with the same domed cathedral Leonardo knew, and etc.

This book is composed of the five chapters. I like the chapter five the best. Because the five chapter is the photograph of the Vatican City State appears. It is very beautiful. I would like to go this country.


I wished to read this book and to see Leonardo da Vinci's pictures more.
