About this work

What might the world’s most notorious psychologist say about the mysterious expression of the Mona Lisa that has puzzled art critics for years? In Leonardo da Vinci Sigmund Freud psychoanalyzes the Renaissance painter. Freud explained, “Leonardo da Vinci was like a man who awoke too early in the darkness, while the others were all still asleep." Perhaps ahead of his time, da Vinci used his artistic talent not just to create thought-provoking paintings but to study the human anatomy. In this biography, Freud unveils the talent and inscrutability of da Vinci.
