Leonardo's Swans

Author: Karen Essex
Stars: 5
Review by: Smudge

The story of Beatrice and Isabelle d'Este is one of power, decadance, and control set against the artistic and political changes taking place during Renaissance Italy.  This makes the book interesting and enjoyable.  In addition, the excerpts from Da Vinci's notebooks and the information about the art produced during this time are fascinating.
