Lying open, this unutterably wonderful book is almost the size of the Mona Lisa and about as hefty as a slab of The Last Supper's monastery wall. All 34 paintings are here, many with huge and immensely illuminating details, plus 663 drawings. The reproductions are stunning, on paper sturdy enough to serve as wings on some of the flying machines depicted. The precision of the images amazes!
Authors Frank Zollner and Johannes Nathan richly tease out the historical context and meanings. It will take up your coffee table at 20x13x4!
