Today, only about fifteen works are reliably credited to Leonardo da Vinci, and most of these are in private collections, out of public view. What's more, in his own time Leonardo's reputation was vastly overshadowed by the work of his rivals, Raphael and Michelangelo, prompting him to spend his last years in France in relative obscurity. This, then, is the great mystery of Leonardo's legacy: if his tangible output was so limited, how was his radically innovative style inserted into the bloodstream of Italian art and Western painting as a whole? And how did his mystique as a solitary genius survive five centuries of European history, and continue to fascinate us in modern times? This book is the first to unravel this mystery by cutting a broad swath through the Renaissance, the Baroque, and Early Modern art, in an effort to discover how this elusive 16th century genius would exerted such an exceptional influence on Western civilization.

For the 500th anniversary of Leonardo da Vinci’s death comes an immersive journey through five centuries of history to define the Leonardo mystique and uncover how the elusive Renaissance artist became a global pop icon. Virtually everyone would agree that Leonardo da Vinci was the most important artist of the High Renaissance. It was Leonardo who singlehandedly created the defining features of Western art: a realism based on subtle shading; depth using atmospheric effects; and dramatic contrasts between light and dark. But how did Leonardo, a painter of very few works who died in obscurity in France, become the internationally renowned icon he is today, with the Mona Lisa and the Last Supper the most visited artworks in the world, attracting nearly a billion visitors each year, and Salvator Mundi selling as the most expensive artwork of all time, for nearly half a billion dollars? This extraordinary volume, lavishly illustrated with 130 color images, is the first book to unravel these mysteries by diving deep into the art, literature, science, and politics of Europe from the Renaissance through today. It gives illuminating context to both Leonardo and his accomplishments; explores why Leonardo’s fame vastly overshadowed that of his contemporaries and disciples; and ultimately reveals why despite finishing very few works, his celebrity has survived, even thrived, through five centuries of history.
