About this book
A painter's way of looking at the world connects artistic practice with questions about knowledge and conduct in this collection of Leonardo da Vinci's thoughts. Translated by Maurice Baring, the volume arranges its material into sections on life, art and science. Its introduction explains Leonardo's emphasis on observing nature, testing ideas through experience and using bodily gesture to convey a person's feelings in a painting.
The discussion becomes especially concrete when Leonardo compares painting with sculpture. Light, shade, colour, perspective and the durability of materials all enter his argument about what each art can achieve. These reflections bring technical decisions into contact with larger questions about beauty and understanding. Readers interested in the thinking behind a picture will find an artist reasoning through his craft, while the collection's broader scope places those practical observations alongside reflections on how to live and learn.
