Becoming Leonardo
Becoming Leonardo: An Exploded View of the Life of Leonardo Da Vinci | Mike Lankford
6 posts | 3 read | 16 to read
While Leonardo Da Vinci is one of the most discussed artists of all time, it's shocking how little is actually known about him at least, according to most of his biographies. Why did he leave his small hometown? Why didn't he complete so many projects? Why did a seeming peace-lover volunteer to create war machines? Why did he always take the Mona Lisa with him, wherever he went? Was he gay? Enter passionate Da Vinci fan Mike Lankford, who has written the first biography openly and thoroughly discussing the questions which previous modern scholars and biographers have avoided.

Well, I‘ve just finished Becoming Leonardo: An Exploded View of the Life of Leonardo Da Vinci by Mike Lankford. It was a great overview of Da Vinici‘s life, with some creative leaps to fill in the blanks (e.g what he could have been feeling at a certain time, etc.). It‘s an amazing book because it reads at a fast pace and dispels many of the myths we have as a society about Leonardo! Highly recommended!

Staircase design by Leonardo DaVinci in the 1500s. He was a true Renaissance Man.
