The #1 New York Times bestseller

“A powerful story of an exhilarating mind and life...a study in creativity: how to define it, how to achieve it.” —The New Yorker

“Vigorous, insightful.” —The Washington Post

“A masterpiece.” —San Francisco Chronicle

“Luminous.” —The Daily Beast

He was history’s most creative genius. What secrets can he teach us?

The author of the acclaimed bestsellers Steve Jobs, Einstein, and Benjamin Franklin brings Leonardo da Vinci to life in this exciting new biography.

Based on thousands of pages from Leonardo’s astonishing notebooks and new discoveries about his life and work, Walter Isaacson weaves a narrative that connects his art to his science. He shows how Leonardo’s genius was based on skills we can improve in ourselves, such as passionate curiosity, careful observation, and an imagination so playful that it flirted with fantasy.

He produced the two most famous paintings in history, The Last Supper and the Mona Lisa. But in his own mind, he was just as much a man of science and technology. With a passion that sometimes became obsessive, he pursued innovative studies of anatomy, fossils, birds, the heart, flying machines, botany, geology, and weaponry. His ability to stand at the crossroads of the humanities and the sciences, made iconic by his drawing of Vitruvian Man, made him history’s most creative genius.

His creativity, like that of other great innovators, came from having wide-ranging passions. He peeled flesh off the faces of cadavers, drew the muscles that move the lips, and then painted history’s most memorable smile. He explored the math of optics, showed how light rays strike the cornea, and produced illusions of changing perspectives in The Last Supper. Isaacson also describes how Leonardo’s lifelong enthusiasm for staging theatrical productions informed his paintings and inventions.

Leonardo’s delight at combining diverse passions remains the ultimate recipe for creativity. So, too, does his ease at being a bit of a misfit: illegitimate, gay, vegetarian, left-handed, easily distracted, and at times heretical. His life should remind us of the importance of instilling, both in ourselves and our children, not just received knowledge but a willingness to question it—to be imaginative and, like talented misfits and rebels in any era, to think different.

##原本是要建個雕像, 他先解剖匹馬去瞭解馬的身體構造, 順便對比下人腿和馬腿的骨骼走嚮;又設計瞭幾種可以有效清理馬廄並填補飼料的係統; 還發明瞭一套能一口氣把整匹馬雕塑澆鑄齣來的模具和係統. 被這個人強大的好奇心和行動力震驚瞭;可不簡單單是個畫傢啊. 隻要他感興趣的, 不論與原本主題沾多大邊兒, 他都能興緻勃勃的一通鑽研下去. 要說最可惜的一點, 就是leonardo從始至終都沒有意識到人類的知識體係是個體之間協作,探討,慢慢積纍而成的. 正是因為後人能站在前人的肩膀上, 我們對世界的瞭解纔能以指數增長.真希望那時候有人能幫他發錶他在解剖學, 水利, 自然, 工程, 數學和音樂等等上的那些偉大的發現啊.
