	Leonardo - Eyewitness Guide Why is Leonardo da Vinci known as the original 'Renaissance Man'? What deadly weapon did a Renaissance woman keep inside her locket? Why did Leonardo visit the city morgue? Why did 'shaving' florins become a black market practice? All these questions and more are answered in this Eyewitness Guide. Leonardo da Vinci, painter, philosopher, scientist and engineer, symbolises the Renaissance world. He was the artist who created the Mona Lisa, and the scientist who understood the principals of flight 400 years before the Wright brothers. Like others of his time, he did not separate art from science. In this book stunning, specially commissioned photographs bring every aspect of Leonardo's Renaissance world to life. Interest in the cultures of ancient Greece and Rome thrived, and a new spirit of observation and enquiry prevailed. In the city-states of Italy, patrons of the arts enabled Leonardo and many others to devote their lives to art and science, and the invention of the printing press allowed their ideas to spread through Europe faster than ever before. - See Leonardo's design for exploding cannonballs inside a Renaissance home, the original platform shoes, and one of the first pocket watches - Learn how one family dominated a city for more than two centuries, how gold leaf was applied to altarpieces, when mirrors were first used, and why the ancient world was an inspiration for the modern one - Discover how the invention of the printing press changed the world, how apprentices made pigments from ground beetles, why glue was used as a beauty aid, and why Leonardo studied a bird's wing to make a flying machine Suitable for children: 8 years and over Publisher: Dorling Kindersley ISBN: 0751361593 Published: 1999 Hardback: 64 pages Price: £9.99
