Summary: In Leonardo da Vinci we have the most perfect embodiment of the modern intellect, the highest expression of the marriage of art and science: the thinker, the poet, the wizard whose fascination is unrivalled. Eugene Muntz (1845-1902) was a member of the Institut de France and curator of the collections of l'Ecole Nationale des Beaux- Arts in Paris, and has been one of the most influential specialists on the Italian Renaissance. He wrote profusely on the great masters of the Renaissance such as Michelangelo. His insightful study of da Vinci's works remains the most complete and universal reference today. Item #277297
