Description

Freud's analysis of Leonardo's life is based on his belief that the creative process is deeply rooted in the unconscious mind, and that the artist's work is a reflection of their deepest desires and fears. In this book, he examines the artist's childhood, family background, and early influences, as well as his relationships with his patrons, friends, and lovers. Overall, "Leonardo da Vinci" provides a unique perspective on the life and work of one of history's most fascinating and enigmatic figures, offering a compelling insight into the creative process and the psychological forces that drive it. Read in English, unabridged.

Author

Sigmund Freud (born Sigismund Schlomo Freud; 6 May 1856 – 23 September 1939) was an Austrian neurologist and the founder of psychoanalysis, a clinical method for evaluating and treating pathologies arising from conflicts in the psyche through dialogue between patient and psychoanalyst, and the distinctive theory of mind and human agency derived from it.
