The Romance Of Leonardo Da Vinci
Translated From The Original Russian Of Dmitri Merejkowski
By Bernard Gilbert Guerney
Published by Carlton House: New York 1928
Complete 2 Volume Set

"Dmitri Merejkowski's The Romance of Leonardo Da Vinci is a richly imagined historical novel that explores the mind and spirit of one of the Renaissance's greatest geniuses. Through elegant prose and vivid historical detail, Merejkowski portrays Leonardo as both artist and philosopher — a man torn between scientific inquiry and divine inspiration. Set amidst the splendour and intrigue of fifteenth-century Italy, the narrative intertwines real figures of the Renaissance with the author's philosophical reflections on art, knowledge, and the eternal conflict between faith and reason.

This English translation by Bernard Guilbert Guerney captures the lyrical intensity and intellectual depth of Merejkowski's original Russian text, presenting a sweeping vision of Leonardo's world and the dawn of modern humanism. The two-volume set, beautifully produced by Carlton House, stands as a classic of biographical fiction and a profound meditation on creativity and the nature of genius. A fine addition for collectors of literary fiction, art history enthusiasts, and admirers of Renaissance culture."
