Many people know that Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) was an Italian
polymath, one of the great creative minds of the Italian Renaissance and
the painter of the Mona Lisa and The Last Supper. What, perhaps,
they don't know is that his original notebook Codex Leicester, was sold
to Bill Gates for $30 million; that as an ambidextrous, paranoid
dyslexic, Leonardo could draw forwards with one hand while writing
backwards with the other; and that he invented an armored car, a flying
ship and contact lenses. This book presents an ingenious guide to his
life and work, with an array of irresistible facts and figures converted
into infographics to reveal the master behind the masterpieces.
