In one century of strenuous research numerous resources about Leonardo da Vinci have been collected, reviewed, edited and annotated, including letters, contracts, poems, receipts, and biographies. Biographical and artistic data have been checked and rechecked, sometimes corroborating and sometimes changing our previous ideas and an abundance of new facts has been revealed. Long lost works have been rediscovered and every single known piece has been studied in its formal, iconographic, functional and genetic aspects. The artist’s character, his daily habits, his working methods, his personal attitudes, and his artistic and political viewpoints have been traced, as well as the peculiarities of the people with whom he had contact. In this way modern history of art has formed an image of da Vinci that is much nearer to truth than those presented by his biographers.
