Chiaroscuro: The Private Lives of Leonardo da Vinci

3/5 ( ratings)

The book is a compilation of a ten issue mini-series which originally ran from 1995-1996. It looks at Leonardo from the view-point of his ne'er-do-well apprentice and servant Giacomo, known forever to history as Salai, whom Leonardo describes as "lying, thieving, gluttonous", but who none the less spends most of his life in a complex relationship with the Maestro. Along the way we encounter Machievelli, Cesare Borgia, Michelangelo, Katerina and the model for the painting Mona Lisa. I feel the book will be a welcome addition to the wealth of books on Leonardo this season.
