Leonardo Paintings and Drawings
Official release. This splendid collection of cards contains excellent reproductions of 24 of his most important works. I think the word 'genius' was invented for Leonardo da Vinci and the works in this postcard book bear that out...
In terms of presentation and quality of the reproductions, these are the best I've seen of his work. That's a personal opinion though as I prefer the gloss finish to the matt one. Others differ but to me they bring the works alive. You get a flavour of how it will look by looking at the Picasso postcard book I've scanned. Different cards obviously but exactly the same design. Here.
Official Blurb: The genius of Leonardo da Vinci on display in 24 of his greatest works of art! One of the world's greatest artists, Leonardo da Vinci possessed amazing powers of observation and skill that enabled him to re-create what he saw with astounding accuracy. Surprisingly, he completed only a few paintings, but even his sketches were marvelous works of art. Twenty-four of his finest paintings and drawings are included here, among them such famous works as the Portrait of Lisa del Giocondo (Mona Lisa), St. John the Baptist, Old Man and Youth, and twenty-one other masterpieces.
Art-loving friends and relatives will be delighted to receive these lovely card — which can also be framed, used as bookmarks, or added to a personal collection.
