Mona Lisa

I knew Leonardo Da Vinci was a great painter and a brilliant inventor, but I really had no idea of how curious and brilliant he was until I read this book. Walter Isaacson does a great job of taking you through Leonardo’s life and gives an insight into this amazing man who was curious beyond belief and possibly a little ADD or ADHD.  He never finished a book. He often did not finish paintings. He carried the Mona Lisa around with him for 13 years…adding a touch here…a brush stroke there until his death. His list of unfinished paintings and projects is extensive.
