Leonardo da Vinci was the original Renaissance Man, an artist, mathematician, inventor and writer amongst his many talents. His skilful observations of the mechanics of the body informed both his work, and the generations that followed. But his drawings are elegant too, with the gentle features of his female subjects in particular graced with unrivalled care and eloquence. Da Vinci's illustrations lie at the heart of our heritage and this new book offers a breadth and scale that will satisfy both the casual and informed reader.

Rothko progressed from figurative and symbolist works to eventually using shimmering and enveloping abstract colour to elevate you to a higher spiritual awareness. Discover the themes, thinking and methodology behind the oeuvre, from Greek tragedy and Nietzsche to music and colour, whilst experiencing his pieces displayed in full, free of clutter.

Exploring the intersection of music, art, and spirituality, this book delves into Giovanni Bellini's four altarpieces, celebrated for their depiction of music performance and their reflection of Venetian culture. It highlights the influence of St. Francis and the Franciscans on Bellini's work, as well as the broader context of music in Venetian art during his lifetime. The book also examines Venice's significance in music printing and instrument making, illustrating how these elements coalesce in Bellini's masterpieces, embodying the harmonious spirit of the Venetian Renaissance.
