Bambach; Exhibition title: Leonardo da Vinci, master draftsman; "Leonardo da Vinci (Italian [Florentine], 1452–1519) stands as a supreme icon in Western consciousness—the very embodiment of the universal Renaissance genius. With much of his work lost or unfinished, the key to his legacy can be found in the enormous body of his extant drawings and manuscript notes. This publication offers a unified and fascinating portrait of Leonardo as a draftsman, integrating his diverse roles as an artist, scientist, inventor, theorist, and teacher. Essays written by the world's leading Leonardo scholars investigate the significant implications of Leonardo's left-handedness both for the connoisseurship of his drawings and for a reconstruction of his artistic personality, the relationship between word and image in Leonardo's drawings and manuscripts, problems of attribution and authenticity in the critical evaluation of Leonardo's graphic oeuvre, Leonardo's early drapery studies, the role of the artist's father, and the special role of drawn frames or boundaries in Leonardo's design process. Detailed descriptions of 138 individual works survey the wide variety of drawing types that Leonardo used, and also include a small group of works by artists critical to his artistic development in Florence and to his multifaceted activity in Milan. A chronological framework is also provided to shed light on his extraordinary life and career."-- Metropolitan Museum of Art website
