Leonardo da Vinci created the two most famous paintings in history, The Last Supper and the Mona Lisa. But in his own mind, he was just as much a man of science and engineering. With a passion that sometimes became obsessive, he pursued innovative studies of anatomy, fossils, birds, the heart, flying machines, botany, geology, and weaponry. His ability to stand at the crossroads of the humanities and the sciences, made iconic by his drawing of Vitruvian Man, made him history's most creative genius.

Underwhelming and disappointing
Revisado: 04-28-18
I have read/listened to Isaacson’s books on Einstein and Jobs and loved both of them. They were well written, captivating and compelling. In Leonardo da Vinci Isaacson has gone full fan-boy and seems to have lost a coherent storyline. It’s a piecemeal and uncritical look at da Vinci. No, the fact that da Vinci failed to finish so much isn’t just a mark of genius. It’s also highly unfortunate and unproductive. No, having relationships with 15 year old boys shouldn’t be passed over without comment. No, blindly following a brutal warlord is not merely an interesting detour. Isaacson’s invariable support and largely superficial descriptions are not compelling or convincing. I am left underwhelmed by both Isaacson and da Vinci, and I’m surprised by both.
