Leonardo da Vinci - The Complete Paintings and Drawings - Reviews
"Zöllner, uno de los mayores especialistas en la obra del genial pintor, arquitecto, ingeniero e inventor renacentista, analiza a través de los diarios y escritos de Da Vinci su obra pictórica completa, deteniéndose además en las opiniones de contemporáneos sobre un precursor que revolucionó el conocimiento universal y del que el propio Freud afirmó que, "despertó demasiado pronto en la oscuridad, mientras los hombres seguían durmiendo".El Cultural, MadridSpain |

"Genial, como el artista del que se ocupa. Magnífico, como las obras de Leonardo. Revelador, como sus diseños y sus dibujos.

Un recorrido por toda la obra pictórica y gráfica, en gran formato, de uno de los genios más admirados. Impresionante e imprescindible."Sólo Arquitectura, MadridSpain |

"Subtitled The Complete Paintings and Drawings, this gorgeous tome is the ultimate book on the ultimate Renaissance man."MaClean's News Magazine, TorontoCanada |

"Frank Zollner, a biographer of Leonardo, gives equal time and overwhelming space to Leonardo`s 15 or so paintings in his massive volume, with Johannes Nathan of the Institute of Art at the University of Bern weighing in on the drawings. "Weighing in" is no metaphor here. When the boxed book, which weighs 23 pounds, arrived at my door I thought it was my son`s new snowboard. The sturdily written overview of Leonardo`s art is less specialized than the Metropolitan catalog, but the main draw is the scale and detail of the really extraordinary illustrations, accompanied by quotations from Freud, Pater, Nietzsche, and other heavyweight admirers."The New York Times, New YorkUnited States |

"Un libro excepcional."Marie Claire, MadridSpain |

"Ce n'est pas un livre, c'est le Saint-Graal que tous les amateurs d'art n'ont même jamais osé espérer. Un monument (dans tous les sens du terme) que le génie protéiforme de l'artiste - anatomiste, botaniste, ingénieur civil et militaire, architecte, sculpteur, urbaniste, hydrologue, cartographe, inventeur et peintre - éclabousse à chaque page. (...) A la fois outil de travail pour les peintres - quel plaisir de jouer les copistes avec un tel "Professeur" ! - et source de délectation pour les amateurs d'art, cet ouvrage des éditions TASCHEN vient d'obtenir le prix Marmottan de l'Académie des Beaux-Arts."La Provence TV hebdo, ParisFrance |

"...my art book of the year and a landmark in illustrated book publishing. ( ). Between these invitations to enlightenment and heaven lie 10 kilos and almost 700 poster-size pages of exquisite reproductions of all Leonardo's works, dovetailed with a commentary that is crisp, spare, revelatory and definitive. Suspend disbelief and give this massive, daring, sensuous object, gorgeously designed in black and pale gold to anyone interested in art, beautiful books or the history of western thought. Only the greatest artists could support such a catalogue raisonée. The icon status of Leonardo's few paintings makes these top-quality reproductions especially treasured, for it is virtually impossible to get near these works - past ropes, queues, officious guides - in the world's leading museums. So in a real sense these giant pages of detail let us explore the paintings freshly for the first time."The Financial Times, LondonUnited Kingdom |
|
"A lavish tome with all of the artist's paintings and 663 of his drawings reproduced at a scale that will let you pour over every detail. Just make sure you don't buy the copy I already drooled over."Scottish Sunday Herald, GlasgowUnited Kingdom |

Leonardo Da Vinchi was a genius. He put
breathtaking codes in his work and wants the whole world to know what he knew. - You do ill if you praise, but worse if you censure, what you do not understand. Leonardo da Vinci MelissaUnited States |
