Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) possessed one of the greatest minds of all time; his importance and influence are inestimable. This XXL-format comprehensive survey is the most complete book ever made on the subject of this Italian painter, sculptor, architect, engineer, scientist and all-around genius. With huge, full-bleed details of Leonardo's masterworks, this highly original publication allows the reader to inspect the subtlest facets of his brushstrokes. * Part I explores Leonardo's life and work in ten chapters, drawing upon his letters, contracts, diary entries, and writings. All of his paintings are presented and interpreted in depth, with The Annunciation and The Last Supper featured on fold-out pages. * Part II comprises a catalogue raisonne of Leonardo's paintings, which covers all of his surviving and lost painted works and includes texts describing their states of preservation. Each and every painting that can be justifiably attributed to Leonardo is included here; thanks to new findings and scientific research, this is the first time his definitive painting oeuvre is being published. * Part III contains an extensive catalogue of his drawings (numbering in the thousands, they cannot all be reproduced in one book); 663 are presented, arranged by category (architecture, technical, anatomical, figures, proportion, cartography, etc). Over half of the drawings included were provided by Windsor Castle, marking the first time that the Castle has allowed a publisher to reproduce so many of their drawings. This sumptuous TASCHEN offering is the most thorough and beautifully produced Leonardo book ever published.

银鼠也是纯洁的象征。“银鼠宁死也不愿被玷污。”列奥纳多在一则动物寓言中写道。寓言中还写道:“出于节制,银鼠每天仅进食一次,为了保持洁白无瑕,它宁可被猎人逮住,也不愿意藏身于肮脏的洞穴。”
如今有一种让人担心的新的“知识无用论”,并非认为只是没用,而是认为“那些知识对我没用”,或者“即使知道了又怎样,又不能变现”。从这样想的那一刻开始,我们已经在无趣的道路上愈走越远了。
