A brilliant and sensitive study of the manner in which one of the most gifted human beings of all time came to artistic maturity. There is an element of the detective story as biographical events are slowly established and then weighed for their evidence. All serious scholarship is a pursuit, but few scholars are as able as Brown to involve us, to excite us, to awe us with a new understanding of the beauty of Leonardo's painting.
