Leonardo da Vinci and the Art of Sculpture


Leonardo da Vinci and the Art of Sculpture
Gary M. Radke
With contributions by Martin J. Kemp, Pietro C. Marani, Andrea Bernardoni, Darin Stine, Philippe Sènèchal, and Tommaso Mozzati

Leonardo da Vinci is renowned as a painter, designer, draftsman, architect, engineer, scientist, and theorist. His work as a sculptor is not commonly acknowledged, and many have argued that Leonardo believed that sculpture was an inferior art form ("of lesser genius than painting"). Challenging and overturning these assumptions, Leonardo da Vinci and the Art of Sculpture looks at the sculptural projects that the artist undertook, as well as the late Renaissance sculptures that were indebted to him.
