Leonardo da Vinci. The Complete Paintings and Drawings

I was quite surprised by the quality of this book! I bought it for the content (exactly what I wanted- works of da Vinci - and now it will double as decor!

Print is very small and hard to read with these old eyes. But that is not that concerning since the images of DaVinci’s paintings and drawing are terrific. The close up images of important areas of the paintings is particularly informative. All in all this is a great collection of images organized by media and subject. Well worth the price!

Leonardo da Vinci, 1452-1519: The Complete Paintings and Drawings is a stunningly elegant book that beautifully showcases the genius of one of history's greatest artists. Its compact size makes it perfect for any room or as a delightful addition to your library collection. This book is not only a feast for the eyes but also a must-have for art lovers and collectors alike. Highly recommend for anyone looking to celebrate the brilliance of da Vinci in their home!

I first saw this book about 10 years ago. Wanted it badly, but the price tag was out of my range at the time. So I setteld on a much smaller 2 volume set by the same publisher. This 2 volume title split his technical and art into two books and was very condensed. I came home and put the big book on my wish list, where it quickly went out of print and started selling upwards of $300. It was on my list this whole time. I attended a traveling show on Leonardo machines and I saw this book there for $200 with a curious little sticker on the plastic wrap that said "Updated with the latest scholarly references'. I brought it home and much to my susprise, I found that this book was available again on Amazon for $130. I also discovered a 25th aniversary edition of the same title. The 25th aniversary edition is just a shrunken version of this beheamoth. About 1/3 of the size. You find all kinds of page number differences between the volumes/editions. Dont be fooled. The 25th and the 2004 editions have the same content and the 2012 edition even has the same number of pages but with updated pictures and text. Turns out this edition, that is available right now, has the same ISBN # as the previous 2004 edition but does not show a publish date of 2012. Confused? Dont be. This is THE latest BOOK you want and it is fabulous! I am blown away and astounded at this collection. I cant express my grattitude enough to the publisher, for supplying me with such a beautiful, expanded, detailed copies of this man's work. thank you Tashen and Mr. Zollner

She’s a thick one!! Love this book so much, I feel like it would be great for an artist’s decor and as a gift for them as well. It’s very knowledgeable and explanatory.

A beautifull art book

Good value, hefty, excellent book of his paintings and drawings. Excellent intro of his works for any reader. One star deducted for bad packaging -- not properly bubble-wrapped, weighty book must have bounce around the spacious box -- spine of book was dented. A little upset but it is the contents that matters after all. I am ok with it now.

This book is beautifully done with photography and diagrams and history. It’s a knockout in the art book market. However, the print is small. Don’t forget Leonardo covered a lot of ground in his life and trying to put it all between the covers of one book is a challenge. You will not be disappointed with this book.

This book is huge . It's so big and delight to the eyes , you will feel like you are witnessing something extraordinary. It's also great for those who admire Leonardo and have nothing to do with art and also for those who want to study his life and his art in detail. Most of the spectacular arts by Leo has paid special attention in book,I mean those art are zoomed and parts of them are presented in pages . This is a great buy , if you are thinking,if it's value for money , then I will say yes , don't hesitate go for it

If you are a fan of Leonardo’s work or you’re simply into arts and books I strongly recommend the hardcopy to have it in your house. It came wrapped, great condition, good quality. I am very happy with it

Por mucho tiempo quise comprarlo pero hasta ahora me animé y me parece estupendo, es un súper libro y además actualizado, pues ya incluye el recientemente descubierto Salvator Mundi.

Hele goede kwaliteit

Un ouvrage remarquable pour les admirateurs de Leonardo da VInci et ceux qui n'en connaissent que les clichés. Un cadeau intelligent et superbe.
