Leonardo’s Horse by Jean Fritz, illustrated by Hudson Talbott (Putnam Juvenille, 2001).

This book tells the story of how that original vision from one of the greatest renaissance artists was finally completed by another sculptor over five hundred years later. An extraordinary tribute to Leonardo da Vinci and his life’s work.
