New edition in the collection Les Incontournables Hazan which brings together in a "coffee table" format the bestsellers published by Hazan editions. Flamboyant character, universal artist, genius among geniuses: the widespread image of Leonardo has something conventional about it, like an obligation to admire that hinders understanding. This book takes a fresh look at Leonardo. It shows how this self-taught man, uomo senza lettere in his own words, ended up becoming, through curiosity and observation, one of the great scholars of his time. It explains how he managed to accomplish, in his long and often broken trajectory, a work as a civil and military engineer, urban planner, theater and festival designer, architect, sculptor, musician, writer, and finally painter, and how this work so vast and so diverse is of total coherence, animated as it is by the research around the "rhythm of the world." This text by Daniel Arasse renews a subject which, for five centuries, has fascinated both the general public and scholars, from Giorgio Vasari to Sigmund Freud.
