Why read it?
1 author picked Leonardo. the Complete Paintings and Drawings as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
The definitive account of Leonardo’s life and work by one of the world’s greatest Leonardo scholars, magnificently illustrated, clearly written, admirably objective.

It’s a big book but easy to dip in and out of with its Catalogue Raisonée structure of an account of the artist's life followed by essays on each painting.
From Ben's list on Leonardo da Vinci.
