Leonardo DaVinci trained as an artist in Florence, Italy at the young age of fourteen. His natural curiosity and attention to detail moved him into other areas of study, such as machinery, flight, and optical illusions. Leonardo was the first to illustrate the exact proportions of the human body. Growing up during the Renaissance (rebirth), Leonardo was a man for his time and beyond.
This book is a page turner for all who have a desire to learn about Leonardo DaVinci. The illustrations and pop ups inspire the imagination! My favorite is the pop-up page of his mechanical inventions. Great art and fun combined!
