Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. A fascinating journey into Leonardo da Vinci's works, the Renaissance and its perfumesThis exhibition catalogue is a journey into the perfumes of the Renaissance, through the daily life of Leonardo da Vinci and the legacy of his mother Caterina, who came from the shores of the Black Sea where she was sold as a slave. The book delves, among other things, into the scents of this brilliant era: the spices, incense and musks of Constantinople, the perfumed costumes of Venice, Florence, Milan and the court of Francis I of France.The book highlitghts the plants of the Tuscan master's childhood, such as olive, jasmine, juniper, lemon and orange tree, as well as the smells of the workshop, walnut and linseed oils, rabbitskin glue, resins, waxes and fats. Leonardo himself concocted fragrant recipes, from the most delicate to the most intense, using enfleurage and distillation techniques.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. The book explores the connection between Leonardo da Vinci's visionary designs, Renaissance engineering, and modern biomimicry, highlighting how nature has inspired technological innovation across centuries. The aim of BIOMIMICRY is to encourage to reflect on their relationship with nature, and to see it not as a resource to be exploited, but as a source of technical solutions to be understood and respected. This catalogue explores the concept of biomimicry by establishing a dialogue between the work of Leonardo da Vinci and Renaissance engineers on the one hand, and contemporary researchers on the other. It shows the way in which the living can be a source of inspiration for our technological future, and the extent to which the Renaissance, with its innovative vision and deep connection to nature, understood this. This book brings together original drawings by Leonardo da Vinci and Albrecht Duerer, models of machines based on the artist's drawings - an ornithopter, a mechanical dragonfly, a flying sphere, a bat's wing, an aerial screw - Renaissance manuscripts, biomimetic robots from LAASCNRS, the Santa Anna School of Advanced Studies in Pisa and the University of Lausanne. In this way, it highlights the extraordinary modernity of Leonardo da Vinci's work on materials, animal anatomy, bird and fish behaviour, and locomotion techniques. It brings together history, art, technology and current scientific developments in a cross-disciplinary approach.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Rivers, whirlpools, rain, floods, underground flows: for Leonardo da Vinci water is at once a natural phenomenon, a scientific subject, a pictorial material, and a major technical challenge. A universal genius of the Renaissance, Leonardo da Vinci (14521519) never ceased to observe, analyze, and glorify water, which he regarded as the vital force of nature and the hidden engine of the world. Through his drawings, notes, and engineering projects, he emerges as a true master of water, anticipating by several centuries the sciences of hydraulics, geology, and even environmental studies. Published on the occasion of the exhibition at the Clos Luce, the artists last dwelling, this catalogue offers a fascinating immersion into Leonardos thoughts. It brings together autograph drawings, manuscripts, scientific studies, sketches of hydraulic machines, and works of art to show how water permeates his entire oeuvre, from painting to engineering. Dams, canals, flood-regulation systems, studies of currents and vortices testify to the striking modernity of his vision, in which observation of nature fuels technical innovation. At the crossroads of art history, science, and contemporary issues related to water and the environment, this richly illustrated book is accompanied by essays written by specialists. Both an exhibition catalogue and a reference book, it offers a renewed reading of the Florentine masters oeuvre and invites readers to rediscover a visionary way of thinkingmore relevant than ever at a time when the management and preservation of water constitute a major challenge for our future.

Condition: MOLTO BUONO. NOTA:Data a penna in antiporta. / Paris, Alma cm.13,5x18,5, pp.358, illustrazioni a colori fuori testo, brossura con copertina figurata a colori. Proposant ses services à Ludovic le More, duc de Milan, Léonard de Vinci vante en dix points ses talents d'ingénieur : construction de ponts, machines de siège, fortifications, bombardes, chars de combat, catapultes etc. La peinture n'apparaît qu'en fin de liste. Travaillant à partir de sources négligées, souvent inédites, l'historien Pascal Brioist suit la carrière d'un ambitieux qui parcourt l'Italie dans le sillage des chefs de guerre et des politiques. Qu'il s'agisse de proposer aux fantassins des armes contre la cavalerie ou de perfectionner la poudre à canon, rien ne semble impossible à l'infatigable ingénieur militaire. Fasciné par César Borgia, il devient l'un de ses indispensables collaborateurs. Autour de Léonard, Pascal Brioist fait revivre la prodigieuse vitalité, la brutalité et les raffinements de la Renaissance italienne. Il montre aussi le traumatisme provoqué chez Léonard par son expérience de la guerre avec ses massacres et ses destructions. On est loin du rêveur, écologiste avant la lettre, que certains se sont plu à imaginer. …
