Painter, sculptor, inventor, engineer, urban planner..., Leonardo da Vinci explored all fields of knowledge.

Paul Vulliaud shows throughout this study that the pictorial work of the Tuscan genius is full of symbols, sensitive signs through which the artist expressed his transcendent thought in a veiled way.
