「成为达·芬奇：尊重自由价值」

"There are three types of people in the world: those you can see, those who need guidance to see, and those who cannot be seen." - Leonardo da Vinci

When we mention the art master Leonardo da Vinci, we are accustomed to calling him "da Vinci," but his name is actually Leonardo, "da Vinci" is a place name. Leonardo da Vinci means "Leonardo from Vinci." The original title of this book is "Becoming Leonardo," but to fit everyones habit, it was translated to "Becoming da Vinci."

Choosing from a small town called Vinci near the Albano Mountain, Leonardo bid farewell to his carefree childhood and came to Florence, the most dazzling city in Italy. There were people from all over Europe gathering here, making it an economic and cultural center. Leonardo felt the hustle and bustle here and became an apprentice artist.

This is the initial experience of the great artist Leonardo da Vinci. The book "Becoming da Vinci" chronicles Leonardos legendary life in chronological order. We can see the people and things he encountered as a young man from a small town, the cultural impact and influence he received, and how he became a master through his talent and hard work!

We can also see Leonardos self-reflection, his contemplation of life and death, playing a significant role in his artistic career. After witnessing death, destruction, and massacres, he felt his heart beating stronger and had a firmer vision of beauty in his mind.

Leonardos genius is not confined to painting. He is also a dedicated and passionate scholar, integrating art, science, technology, and imagination, tirelessly inventing and creating. He achieved remarkable accomplishments in fields such as architecture, astronomy, anatomy, botany, geology, and optics.

In addition to the textual biography, this book also includes a selection of 36 precious original manuscripts, allowing us to witness the colorful and magnificent life of Leonardo da Vinci!
