This book definitely helped me along those lines.Shana Priwer and Dr. Cynthia Phillips have done an outstanding job in the writing of this book. I found some of the chapter titles humorous ("The mamas and the papas....."). The book helped me see Leonardo da Vinci in a new "light"; and I am looking forward to further reading/research on this genius. The book is small and easy to read; I found myself taking it with me wherever I went.Leonardo da Vinci was truly a Renaissance Man. I liked that the writers took time to go into depth about the other great Renaissance Men (Michelangelo; Raphael; Botticelli) which I found very educational. The reading was an easy flow from beginning to end.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Three StarsBy John WestInteresting but too much about color tones and painting techniques.0 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Doesnt do any justice to the genius - Da VinciBy Lyn6024I found this book tediously repetitive; and light on detail and facts.The style of writing was also inconsistent and often immature.
