Leonardo Da Vinci: The Divine And The Grotesque

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionLeonardo da Vinci`s studies of physiognomy, the divinely beautiful and the grotesquely ugly, are some of the most idiosyncratic and fascinating works ever produced by this archetypal genius. This book looks in detail at eighty examples ofLeonardo`s drawings from the unrivaled collection preserved in the Royal Library at Windsor Castle, and is the first work on the subject aimed at a general audience. In his introductory essay, Martin Clayton explores the roots of Leonardo`s life-longurge to create such drawings. Individual entries look in detail at each of the selected works, placing them in the context of contemporary attitudes to beauty, notions of perfect proportion, popular images of the comically ugly, and accepted modes of artistic creation and social behavior. Among the drawings are studies for Leonardo`s masterpieces such as the Last Supper and Leda and the Swan , portraits of Leonardo`s associates, dissections of skulls, and designs for masks….

Description: `Leonardo`s Lost Robots` reinterprets Leonardo da Vinci`s mechanical design work, revealing a new level of sophistication not recognized by art historians or engineers. By identifying his major technological projects, the book reinterprets Leonardo`s legacy of notes, showing that apparently unconnected fragments from dispersed manuscripts actually comprise cohesive designs for functioning automata. Using the rough sketches scattered throughout almost all of Leonardo`s notebooks, the author has reconstructed Leonardo`s programmable cart, which was the platform for other automata: a Robot Lion, a Robot Knight, and a hydraulically powered automaton for striking a bell. Through a readable, lively narrative, Mark Rosheim explains how he reconstructed da Vinci`s designs. In a foreword, the world-renowned Leonardo scholar Carlo Pedretti interprets the significance of these reconstructions for our understanding of Leonardo`s oeuvre. [detailed...]
