A painting attributed to Leonardo da Vinci sold at auction last week for a record $450.3 million. The Italian master is the subject of a new biography by Walter Isaacson, who has told the stories of other geniuses, including Albert Einstein, Benjamin Franklin and Steve Jobs. Isaacson joined host Krys Boyd in October to talk about the book, “Leonardo da Vinci,” which links the Italian polymath’s art to his scientific life.
