Customer Reviews

A beautiful and well structured book!

This is a great book for those who not only want to see high quality of Da Vinci’s art but also wants a full description of techniques and reasoning on his pieces. It’s full of many different paintings and sketches. It also provides time periods and resources to claim and support their evidence. The book’s text is quite small so keep that in mind for those with eye problems. Other than that, it’s an amazing book and it comes with so much more than I can describe!
