- This compelling novel takes the reader into the tumultuous period of the Renaissance and the origins of Leonardo da Vinci, the bastard child of a notary. Of da Vinci, the eminent art historian Kenneth Clark wrote, &“no more complex and mysterious character ever existed than this Hamlet of art history.&” Clark noted that one had to be &“familiar with all of Leonardo&’s writings in their chronological order (and) the state of learning in the Renaissance to judge Leonardo&’s progress in relation to that of his contemporaries.&”This compelling novel takes the reader into the tumultuous period of the Renaissance and the origins of Leonardo da Vinci, the bastard child of a notary.
