"How did Leonardo, a painter of very few works who died in obscurity in France, become the internationally renowned icon he is today? This book unravels this mystery by diving into the art, literature, science, and politics of Europe from the Renaissance through today. Gives context to both Leonardo and his accomplishments; explores why Leonardo's fame vastly overshadowed that of his contemporaries and disciples; and ultimately reveals why despite finishing very few works, his celebrity has survived, even thrived, through five centuries of history"--OCLC.
