Перед вами самая полная биография Леонардо да Винчи, величайшего гения эпохи Возрождения. Хотя его достижения и творения на протяжении веков вызывали всеобщее восхищение, этот человек всегда оставался на удивление закрытым, что во все времена порождало многочисленные слухи и версии о его приверженности темным культам, участии в зловещих тайных обществах, причастности к величайшим секретам западной цивилизации. Его жизнь и сегодня во многом остается загадкой. Автору этой книги, Чарльзу Николлу, принадлежит множество открытий, связанных с да Винчи и его ближайшим окружением, – ему даже удалось обнаружить ранее неизвестный портрет великого художника. В своей книге, опираясь на огромное количество свидетельств современников и записные книжки самого Леонардо, автор создал потрясающее по подробности описание повседневной жизни гениального итальянца, блестяще сочетающее в себе глубину подлинного академического исследования с элементами захватывающего художественного произведения.
