Leonardo da Vinci as an artist and scientist (1452 - 1519). Seale G.

A real book, written by the French writer and artist G. Seale, is dedicated to the life and work of the great Italian artist and scientist Leonardo da Vinci. The first part consistently, in an exciting form, sets out the facts of the artist’s biography. In the second part, on the basis of the scientist's manuscripts, a description of his scientific worldview, ideas about science and its method are given. In the third part dedicated to Leonardo-artist, the author is trying to understand the connection between the genius of art and scientific. In his opinion, the duality of Leonardo da Vinci as an artist and a scientist causes a special interest in his life from a psychological point of view.

The book is recommended for art critics, historians and methodologists of science, philosophers and psychologists, as well as a wide circle of readers who are interested in the Renaissance as a whole and the personality of one of its brightest representatives of Leonardo da Vinci.
