Inventing Leonardo

Kenneth Baker, San Francisco Chronicle Review
"Inventing Leonardo is a survey of and a contribution to (the commentary that accumulated over the centuries to fill the void of unwritten autobiography and other credible knowledge about the artist's life. . . . [Turner] explains well some of the liberties of aesthetic speculation and some of the quandaries of art historical research, past and present. And in the book's last and most entertaining section, he invents some uses of his own for Leonardo's ambiguities."
