* Our summary is short, simple and pragmatic. It allows you to have the essential ideas of a big book in less than 30 minutes.

*By reading this summary, you will discover the life of the extraordinary character that is Leonardo da Vinci.

*You will also discover : that his illegitimate birth forbade him to follow in his father's footsteps and become a notary; that, from his youth, his curiosity for nature made him seem different; that he then cultivated this difference all his life; that apart from his talents as a painter, he has carried out a great deal of scientific research; that his comings and goings between Florence, Milan and Rome allowed him to be impregnated with different artistic currents; that his inability to honor his commissions forced him to constantly look for patrons.

*Steve Jobs considers that Leonardo da Vinci saw beauty in art as in mechanics, and that this association made him a genius. If his paintings made him universally known, he also devoted a large part of his life to scientific research. His taste for perfection prevented him from finishing several of his works, which he was never satisfied with. His way of life, his taste for beauty and elegance made him a being apart. Are you ready to immerse yourself in the tormented universe of one of the greatest geniuses of humanity?
