One of the most accomplished human beings who ever lived, Leonardo da Vinci (1452–1519) remains a quintessential Renaissance genius. The perfect companion to the Leonardo Graphic Work edition, this book is a compact catalogue raisonné of all of the artist’s masterful paintings. Drawn from our best-selling XXL edition, the book traces the artist’s life and work across 10 chapters, presenting all known paintings and drawing on his letters, contracts, diary entries, and writings to explore the man behind such groundbreaking artworks. From Virgin of the Rocks to Virgin and Child with St. Anne to the ever-beguiling Mona Lisa, you’ll find some of the finest treasures of the Louvre, Prado, and National Gallery, London here, as well as Leonardo works lost to time, but no less startling in their precision and poise.

Rigor, suspense y un estilo narrativo impecable se unen en Libelo de sangre. Durante el crudo invierno de 1620 un espantoso crimen ha sembrado el pánico en cada rincón de Madrid: una joven ha sido violada y enterrada junto a un niño al que le han extirpado el corazón. Nadie en la Villa duda de que se trata de un asesinato ritual, y el escribano Sebastián Castro y su esposa pronto serán inculpados de un «libelo de sangre», una acusación falsa que culpa a los judíos de sacrificar a menores cristianos para realizar magia negra. Por suerte, Alonso, el hijo mayor del matrimonio, ha conseguido escapar de la Inquisición, encargada de investigar el delito, pero ahora deberá enfrentarse a otros peligros no menos terribles: el frío, el hambre y a los miserables que pueblan las calles. Devastado y sin más ayuda que la de dos pícaros vagabundos, intentará llevar a cabo el único objetivo que lo mantiene con vida: rescatar a sus padres. Cuando la fe en Dios encendía corazones, pero los delitos contra ella prendían hogueras.
