Summary: A mini-art appreciation course on the work of Da Vinci
Comment: One of the problem confronting anyone trying to explain the artistic uniqueness of Leonardo Da Vinci is that relatively few of his works of art remain and some of them, such as "The Annunciation," were not recognized as his work for centuries. This explains one of the reasons why Richard Muhlberger has to use unfinished works, such as "The Adoration of the Magi," as well as Da Vinci's drawings, to make his case. However, despite these limitations, this is another excellent volume from The Metropolitan Museum of Art that allows you to take an art appreciation course in your own home. Muhlberger keeps the focus on how Da Vinci was a revolutionary Renaissance master, indeed, the quintessential if not original "Renaissance Man." Beginning with the an angel the apprentice Da Vinci painted in "The Baptism of Christ" by his master Andrea del Verrocchio, we study the growth of his style in paintings such as "Lady with an Ermine," "The Virgin of the Rocks," "The Last Supper," and the "Mona Lisa." Muhlberger focuses on the major theme of exploring the variety of nature, as well as Da Vinci's specific artistic techniques such as using deep shadows to make things look three-dimensional, painting gestures and expressions that conveyed real-life emotions, and using aerial perspectives. All of the books in this series are excellent, but this is really one of the best.
