| Summary | "Leonardo da Vinci, Pathfinder of Science" by Henry S. Gillette is a biographical account written in the early 1960s. This work delves into the multifaceted life of Leonardo da Vinci, exploring not only his renowned artistic talents but also his significant contributions to science and engineering. The book aims to highlight the lesser-known aspects of Leonardo's genius, particularly his scientific inquiries and innovations that have left a lasting impact on various fields. The opening of the book introduces Leonardo as a curious and imaginative young boy growing up in the town of Vinci. Readers witness his fascination with nature as he collects various specimens from his surroundings and learns to create art from them. The narrative captures a pivotal moment when he completes a commission to paint a shield as a surprise for his father, laying the groundwork for his future as an artist and scientist. As the story progresses, we learn that Leonardo's early experiences and inquisitive nature foreshadow his later achievements in both art and science, setting the stage for a remarkable exploration of his life and contributions throughout the book.
