About this book
In the early 20th century, Sigmund Freud embarked on a groundbreaking exploration of one of history's greatest minds in "Leonardo da Vinci: A Psychosexual Study of an Infantile Reminiscence." This document intricately analyzes the interplay between Leonardo's artistic genius and his formative experiences, revealing the profound impact of childhood memories on his creative expression. Freud posits that the artist's unfulfilled desires and complex relationships shaped his work, offering insights into the duality of genius and vulnerability. Ideal for students and scholars of psychology and art history, this study invites readers to reconsider the motivations behind Leonardo's masterpieces and the psychological undercurrents that define human creativity.
