Leonardo Da Vinci : Order and Chaos in Early Modern Thought
by Robert Zwijnenberg
Hardcover, 288 pages
Published by Cambridge Univ Pr
Publication date: Mar 1999
This study is an effort to understand why writing and drawing were so
important to Leonardo da Vinci, who, over the course of his lifetime,
filled about 15,000 pages with texts and images. Focusing on the
fragmentary and chaotic character of his notes, Robert Zwijnenberg
also examines the influence of important cultural developments during
the Italian Renaissance, as well as the work of fellow intellectuals
such as Cusanus, Alberti, Taccola, and Francesco di Giorgio Martini.
Zwijnenberg's study sheds new light on linear perspective and anatomy,
the artist's most favored fields of study.

Publication date: Apr 2001 Leonardo's The Last Supper, painted in
tempera on the damp walls of a dining room for the Dominican monks of
Santa Maria della Grazie in Milan, began falling apart in his
lifetime. Five centuries of dust, mildew, and bad treatment (including
vandalism by French 18th-century troops, Allied bombs in World War II,
and various ham-handed attempts at cleaning and repainting) have only
made things worse. The most recent restoration team went about the job
with surgical precision, beginning in 1977.
Machiavelli,

to go back to Machiavelli
Machiavelli's political theory continues to fascinate (and
annoy) readers. This study situates Machiavelli's theories in the
light of his cooperation with Leonardo da Vinci (generally unknown),
suggests how to read his major works, and surveys modern scientific
evidence in favor of Machiavelli's theory of human nature. Given the
revolution in modern biology, I argue that Machiavellian realism
provides an important corrective to ideologies of the left and right.The

Publication date: Jun 1997
Whether psychoanalysis can, in fact, add to our understanding of art
has long been a source of contention among art historians and
psychoanalysts. Leonardo, Psychoanalysis, and Art History is the
latest round of a lively intellectual debate that has taken place
between the two disciplines over the decades. Using Freud's Leonardo
da Vinci and a Memory of His Childhood as a starting point, Collins
employs psychoanalytic theory to deepen and expand the
psychobiographical understanding of the artist. He evaluates the
factual and art historical basis for psychoanalytic claims, and the
extent to which these claims illuminate specific works by Leonardo da
Vinci.
