This book offers a human-centered journey through the life of Leonardo da Vinci, not just as a legendary genius but as a man shaped by the pressures, failures, and triumphs of Renaissance Europe. From his curious boyhood in Vinci to his reflective final days in France, the chapters trace how Leonardo’s relentless curiosity led him to merge art and science in groundbreaking ways. It explores his artistic masterpieces, scientific notebooks, and personal struggles, while drawing connections to today’s world, where creativity and analysis are often separated. Written in accessible language, the book invites readers from all backgrounds to walk alongside Leonardo—through workshops, royal courts, and moments of doubt—to understand not just what he did, but why it still matters. This is a celebration of resilience, imagination, and the timeless spark of inquiry that defined Leonardo’s life and can inspire our own.
