From the Taschen website:
"Inventor, painter, sculptor, scientist, architect, and engineer Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) was nothing short of a quintessential Renaissance genius. No other artist of his generation has left behind such an extensive, authentic, and innovative oeuvre-yet Leonardo remains the most enigmatic of them all.
From the beguiling Last Supper to the showstopping Mona Lisa, discover the complete painted oeuvre of one of history’s most insatiable creative masters. This collection draws from our extensive best-selling XXL edition, one of the most complete explorations of Leonardo to date, to trace his life and work across 10 chapters. All known paintings are featured, gathering some of the finest treasures of the Louvre, Prado, and National Gallery, as well as works lost to time, but no less startling in their precision and poise.
This definitive volume is complete with crisp details, accessible essays situating Leonardo’s approach within its socio-cultural context and pictorial traditions of the time, the latest scientific insights, as well as an updated foreword that illuminates one of the most sensational art historical discoveries of our time: the record-breaking Salvator Mundi."

My painting teacher told us to try to recreate a masterpiece for practice. I chose the picture of the angel Uriel byDaVinci, found in the painting of Virgin on the rock. The picture is seen on the book jacket here, and at 4:33. It is an absolutely stunning painting by DaVinci, truly angelic. My problem was finding a decent representation online. Wish me luck.

that actually looks really nice. Most Art books I have are on Ukiyo-e.. guess it's time to delve into the great western artists

Pricing aside, how does this compare to Folio Society's "The Notebooks of Leonardo Da Vinci"? I realise that's a new release, so if you haven't had the opportunity to see it in person, do you plan to in the future?

I don't think one could make a fair comparison between the two since this book covers the paintings of da Vinci, and the Folio Society edition covers his notebooks (and none of his paintings, only sketches and drawings). With anything that has to do with art, Taschen will always be my preferred publisher. There's an upcoming edition from Taschen that covers Leonardo da Vinci's paintings AND drawings, which might be a better comparison. But I'd personally go with Taschen either way. Larger size, lower price! :-)
