Praise
“A considerable work of assimilative scholarship and common sense…races along merrily.”—The Boston Globe.
“Bramly has dusted off the primary sources to make da Vinci a startlingly prescient, relevant figure in this exceptional biography.” — Publishers Weekly
“French novelist and biographer Bramly offers the image of a gifted, methodical, rational, emotionally simple craftsman whose personal life remains wrapped in mysteries—some intentional and others, such as the loss of his grave and many of his works, the results of time and circumstance.” — Kirkus Reviews
