Leonardo Da Vinci

by Kireet Joshi

In the whole world there is perhaps no other example of a genius so universal, so inventive, so incapable of contenting himself, so eager for infinity, so naturally intelligent, so far ahead of his century and the centuries which followed. His figures express an incredible sensibility and spirit; they overflow with unexpressed ideas and sensations.” Thus Hippolyte Taine described Leonardo da Vinci. This small book tries to capture the essence of Leonardo’s genius. Some quotations by Sri Aurobindo on this great artist are given in appendix.  Value-oriented Education Series.
