Leonardo

Leonardo from Vinci aka Leonardo da Vinci is a name that needs no introduction. Most people recognize him from his paintings and scribblings from his note book.

But what was he as a person? How did he build such a powerful brand during the peak of the Italian renaissance amongst contemporaries like Michelanegelo, Raphael, Bramante etc.

Walter Isaacson again (see Einstein and Steve Jobs) delights with a well-researched book that deals with a famous person about whom people know sparsely beyond their masterpiece.
