Für Giorgio Vasari, dem einzigartigen Chronisten der italienischen Malerei gab es die Götter: Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci und Raffael, danach kam erst der Herrgott. Raffael war unter den Dreien der jugendliche Tragiker, der an einem Karfreitag geboren wurden und mit noch jungen Jahren von 37 ebenfalls an einem Karfreitag starb. Vasari schildert das gleichwohl illustre wie arbeitsreiche Leben Raffaels in schillerndsten Farben und gibt dabei dem ungebremsten Lebenswandel Raffaels die Schuld an seinem frühen Tod, der durch einen Aderlass zur Kurierung einer Geschlechtskrankheit verursacht worden sein soll

Basándose en las miles de páginas de los cuadernos manuscritos de Leonardo y nuevos descubrimientos sobre su vida y su obra, Walter Isaacson teje una narración que conecta el arte de Da Vinci con sus investigaciones científicas, y nos muestra cómo el genio del hombre más visionario de la historia nació de habilidades que todos poseemos y podemos estimular, tales como la curiosidad incansable, la observación cuidadosa y la imaginación juguetona. Su creatividad, como la de todo gran innovador, resultó de la intersección entre la tecnología y las humanidades.

A self-professed "comprehensive anticipatory design scientist", the inventor Buckminster Fuller (1895-1983) was undoubtedly a visionary. Fuller's creations often bordered on the realm of science fiction, ranging from the freestanding geodesic dome to the three-wheel Dymaxion car to a bathroom requiring neither plumbing nor sewage. Yet in spite of his brilliant mind and lifelong devotion to serving mankind, Fuller's expansive ideas were often dismissed, and have faded from public memory since his death.

The celebrated painter Camille Pissarro (1830-1903) occupied a central place in the artistic scene of his time: a founding member of the new school of French painting, he was a close friend of Monet, a longtime associate in Degas's and Mary Cassatt's experimental work, a support to Cezanne and Gauguin, and a comfort to Van Gogh, and was backed by the great Parisian art dealer Paul Durand-Ruel throughout his career. Nevertheless, he felt a persistent sense of being set apart, different, and hard to classify.

Pierre-August Renoir, leader of the 19th-century Impressionist movement, spent his entire life perfecting his style. Rejected for decades, he depended on friends for a place to stay and money for painting supplies.
