By: Walter Isaacson     
Now a docuseries from Ken Burns on PBS!

The #1 New York Times bestseller from Walter Isaacson brings Leonardo da Vinci to life in this exciting new biography that is “a study in creativity: how to define it, how to achieve it…Most important, it is a powerful story of an exhilarating mind and life” (The New Yorker).


Based on thousands of pages from Leonardo da Vinci’s astonishing notebooks and new discoveries about his life and work, Walter Isaacson “deftly reveals an intimate Leonardo” (San Francisco Chronicle) in a narrative that connects his art to his science. He shows how Leonardo’s genius was based on skills we can improve in ourselves, such as passionate curiosity, careful observation, and an imagination so playful that it flirted with fantasy.

He produced the two most famous paintings in history, The Last Supper and the Mona Lisa. With a passion that sometimes became obsessive, he pursued innovative studies of anatomy, fossils, birds, the heart, flying machines, botany, geology, and weaponry. He explored the math of optics, showed how light rays strike the cornea, and produced illusions of changing perspectives in The Last Supper. His ability to stand at the crossroads of the humanities and the sciences, made iconic by his drawing of Vitruvian Man, made him history’s most creative genius.

In the “luminous” (Daily Beast) Leonardo da Vinci, Isaacson describes how Leonardo’s delight at combining diverse passions remains the ultimate recipe for creativity. So, too, does his ease at being a bit of a misfit: illegitimate, gay, vegetarian, left-handed, easily distracted, and at times heretical. His life should remind us of the importance to be imaginative and, like talented rebels in any era, to think different. Here, da Vinci “comes to life in all his remarkable brilliance and oddity in Walter Isaacson’s ambitious new biography…a vigorous, insightful portrait” (The Washington Post).

Order one size up
Gem Type: No Gemstone, Ring Size: 8
This is a beautiful ring. I would suggest ordering one six up from your normal ring size because it is a wide band. I had bought the bracelet a year ago and wore it everyday never took it off and the links slowly started breaking and separating to the point I just traded it in for the Wright of the gold. I hope it does not happen with this ring. I think it’s made with hollow gold and it is soft. It is a very light but comfortable band. I don’t always like to wear my diamond ring because I don’t want to loose any stones. This is good for casual everyday wear.

Poorly designed.
Gem Type: No Gemstone, Ring Size: 5
It's a great idea, just poorly executed. Looks like plastic or a machine-stamped design in person. Disappointing.

Sheer junk not 18 karat , some kind of scrapping metal no weight to it at all it’s a piece of junk
Gem Type: No Gemstone, Ring Size: 10
The cheapest piece of junk! It is a piece of not even 10 karat junk. Don’t waste your time your money. We’re all better than this crap! I guess Amazon is all we have nowadays so. Amazon better step up their game. I know I spend way too much money with you guys you better freaking make sure you bring everything that I would pick out in person. Junk!!!!!!!

ring is as good as pictured. gorgeous!
Gem Type: No Gemstone, Ring Size: 10
This ring is beautiful and sized perfect. However, on the second day, one end of the little curly-cues came loose and is sticking out. I need to sent this back to be repaired. I hope this will not prove to be too difficult!
