About this audiobook
This drawing is widely, though not universally, accepted as a self-portrait of Leonardo da Vinci, created when he was in his late fifties or early sixties. It is a work of undeniable quality, characterized by fine, unique lines and shadows created by hatching, all executed with the artist's characteristic left hand. For many, this is the face of Leonardo—the quintessential "Renaissance Man" whose genius spanned art, science, and engineering. It has been extensively reproduced, shaping our collective image of his appearance and solidifying his reputation as a polymath.
