Much as we esteem Leonardo da Vinci as a revolutionary thinker, artist, and inventor, he hasn't yet received his due for his empowering portrayal of women, centuries before feminism emerged. While recounting the particulars of Leonardo's life, Kia Vahland clarifies how his vibrant and confrontational portraits like Mona Lisa differed from the rather staid representations of women in early Renaissance art. Included throughout are 80 images showcasing Leonardo's revelatory approach to the female form and his influence upon Raphael, Giorgione, and Titian.
