1897. With a life of Leonardo and an account of his works by John William Brown. Leonardo da Vinci was a Florentine artist and one of the great masters of the High Renaissance. His most famous work is the Mona Lisa. He was also celebrated as a painter, sculptor, architect, engineer, and scientist. His profound love of knowledge and research was the keynote of both his artistic and scientific endeavors. His innovations in the field of painting influenced the course of Italian art for more than a century after his death, and his scientific studies- particularly in the fields of anatomy, optics, and hydraulics-anticipated many of the developments of modern science. Evidence indicates that Leonardo had apprentices and pupils in Milan, for whom he probably wrote the various texts that are compiled into Treatise on Painting. Contents: The Life of Leonardo Da Vinci; Drawing-Proportion; Invention or Composition; Light and Shadow; Colors and Coloring; and Miscellaneous Observations.

Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519), schon zu Lebzeiten eine Ausnahmeerscheinung, war durch Vasaris berühmte Vita des Künstlers, mit der unser Buch beginnt, bereits wenige Jahrzehnte nach seinem Tod zur Legende geworden. Seitdem sind Dichtung und Wahrheit kaum mehr auseinanderzuhalten. Die mythische Überhöhung zum Menschheitsgenie, die Leonardo im Lauf späterer Jahrhunderte erfuhr, macht es heute fast unmöglich, Fakten von Fiktion zu trennen und ein authentisches Bild seines Lebens zu entwerfen.Marianne Schneider, Herausgeberin und Übersetzerin unserer Leonardo-Edition, umgeht dieses Dilemma ebenso naheliegend wie konsequent, indem sie ihre Leonardo-Biographie ausschließlich aus zeitgenössischen Quellentexten komponiert. Amtliche Dokumente - von der Geburtsurkunde bis zu Leonardos Testament -, Korrespondenzen, Aussagen von Freunden, Weggefährten und Auftraggebern sowie Selbstzeugnisse aus Leonardos Schriften fügt sie, behutsam kommentiert, zu einer Geschichte zusammen, die dem Lebensweg Leonardos nach der Methode der Spurensicherung folgt.Zum Jubiläumsjahr legt Marianne Schneider eine überarbeitete Neuausgabe ihrer 2002 erstmals erschienenen Leonardo-Biographie vor, ergänzt durch die neuesten Forschungsergebnisse und wiederentdeckte Dokumente insbesondere zu Leonardos Florentiner Zeit. Neben die sprachlichen Zeugnisse, die eine ganze Epoche zum Reden bringen, treten die nicht weniger beredten visuellen: Zeichnungen und Manuskriptseiten Leonardos sind in die Texte eingestreut, und der Tafelteil bildet alle überlieferten Gemälde farbig ab.Das letzte Wort im Buch hat Leonardo: "Wenn ich glauben werde, das Leben zu lernen, dann werde ich das Sterben lernen."Marianne Schneider übersetzt literarische Texte aus dem Italienischen und Französischen ins Deutsche. Zu den von ihr übersetzten Autoren gehören u. a. Carlo Collodi, Giorgio de Chirico, Alberto Moravia, Roberto Calasso, Ignazio Silone, Luchino Visconti, Simone Veil, Luc Boltanski. Für Schirmer/Mosel hat sie vor kurzem Pulcinella oder Belustigung für Kinder von Giorgio Agamben übersetzt. Seit 1990 betreut sie als Herausgeberin und Übersetzerin unsere Leonardo-Edition. Sie lebt in Florenz.
