Table des matières

Le personnage de Leonardo da Vinci ou, dans la version francisée, Léonard de Vinci (1452–1519) fascine aussi bien par ses multiples intérêts, inventions et connaissances que par la dimension à la fois artistique et scientifique de son œuvre, bref, par ce que Christophe Rey appelle son “génie”. A l’instar de la spécialiste de l’art italien du XVe siècle, Sophie Chauveau qui pose dans son roman biographique L’obsession Vinci (2007) la question: “Qui était vraiment Léonard de Vinci?”, Rey souhaite s’approcher de celui qu’il appelle souvent de manière familière “Léonard”, et cela, pour témoigner de “l’affection avouable” (p. 11) porté au savant, à l’artiste et au scientifique, et aussi “parce que ce prénom semble à lui seul incarner l’aura majestueuse que ce dernier possède” (idem).
