Leonardo da Vinci â Lines of Force
Series: - Leonardo Studies, Volume: 5
âLines of Force" can mean more than the literal marks on a page, including conceptual and symbolic meaningsâlines of influenceâwhich manifest in the perspectives and approaches of different fields. Authors illuminate the natural, mechanical, emotional, technical, stylistic, spiritual, and architectural through new archival finds, valid comparisons, finite analysis of the drawings, and historiography. Gleaning new and important understanding about the artist from these essays, Leonardo is revealed to be forever relevant in the history of art through his legacy and influence.
