Leon Battista Alberti: Master Builder of the Renaissance:
Leon Battista Alberti (1404-1472) was one of the most exciting figures of the
Italian Renaissance. He wrote the first modern treatise on painting, the first
modern manual of classical architecture, and a powerful set of 'dialogues' about
the princely families of Florence. But Alberti also made his own spectacular
advances in the art of painting and in engineering, and was responsible for some
of the most exciting architectural designs in Italy. In this volume, one of our
most distinguished Renaissance scholars offers the superlative biography and
cultural history that Alberti has long deserved. It is a compelling portrait of
a mysterious and original intellectual., Biography / Autobiography ; Historical

Leon Battista Alberti., Baumeister der Renaissance:
Das Buch: Leon Battista Alberti (1404-1472) zählt zu den originellsten,
kreativsten und aufregendsten Gestalten der italienischen Renaissance. Für Jacob
Burckhardt verkörperte er das Ideal des Universalgelehrten, des 'uomo universale',
der in Literatur, Malerei und Mathematik genauso bewandert war wie in
Architektur und Musik. Wenn das Alberti-Bild seit Burckhardt auch
differenzierter geworden ist, bleiben Albertis Hauptverdienste doch unbestritten.
So verfasste er den ersten 'modernen' Traktat über Malerei und das erste 'moderne'
Handbuch klassischer Architektur, die beide enormen Einfluss auf nachfolgende
Künstlergenerationen haben sollten. Er erweckte die vergessene Ästhetik der
antiken Architektur zu neuem Leben und dokumentierte als kenntnisreicher und
eleganter Kommentator die künstlerische Revolution in seiner Heimatstadt Florenz
zu Beginn der Renaissance. Außerdem diente er mehreren bedeutenden Herrschern -
darunter auch Papst Nikolaus V. - , Kunstgeschichte ; Alberti, Leon B. ;

The Lost Italian Renaissance: Humanists, Historians, and Latin's Legacy:
In this groundbreaking work of intellectual history, Christopher Celenza argues
that serious interest in the intellectual life of Renaissance Italy can be
reinvigorated-and the nature of the Renaissance itself reconceived-by recovering
a major part of its intellectual and cultural activity that has been largely
ignored since the Renaissance was first 'discovered': the vast body of
works-literary, philosophical, poetic, and religious-written in Latin by major
figures such as Leonardo Bruni, Lorenzo Valla, Marsilio Ficino, and Leon
Battista Alberti, as well as minor but interesting thinkers like Lapo da
Castiglionchio the Younger., History - General History ; Neuroscience ; Europe -

The Emergence of Modern Architecture: A Documentary History, from 1000 to 1800
(Hardback):
ISBN: 0415260248 Stock status: Temporarily out of stock Published: Mar 2004
Format: Hardback Pages: 552 The book, a documentary history, records a cognitive
history of the emergence of modern architecture. Cutting across disciplinarian
and institutional divisions as we know them today, it reconstructs developments
within the framework of a cognitive history of the past. Modern is here taken to
mean the radical re-thinking of architecture from the end of the tenth century
in Europe to the end of the eighteenth century. Among the key debates that mark
the period are those that oppose tradition to innovation, canon to discovery,
geometrical formality to natural picturesqueness, the functional to the
hedonistic. These conceptual changes are interwoven with institutional
transformations which are also recorded here: the gradual separation of the
architect from the ranks of the craftsperson, the increasing division between
the professional categories we recognize today: architect, landscape architect,
engineer and urban planner, the struggle of the designer to secure a position as
an autonomous specialist, an intellectual, a free and critical commentator upon
the state of human affairs. The hypothesis here is that by the end of the
eighteenth century, when this documentary history ends, the conceptual,
professional and educational structures for the practice and propagation of
modern architecture are in place. The foundations of architectural thinking
emerge essentially as they still are today. Contents: 1 late 10th century - Leo

A Treatise on Painting:
Compiled many years after his death from numerous original manuscripts, 'A
Treatise on Painting 'is the principal repository of Leonardo da Vinci's
practical thoughts on the technique of drawing and painting. It begins with
precise instructions on drawing the human body and then moves on to techniques
of rendering motion. Other topics covered are perspective, composition, the
expression of various emotions, creating effects of light and shadow, and color.
With 48 anatomical drawings by the French classicist master Nicholas Poussin and
geometrical and architectural designs by the great Renaissance architect Leon
Battista Alberti, this famous book remains one of the most useful and valuable
art instruction books of all time.Unabridged republication of the John Francis

Humanist Comedies:
The five comedies included in this volume, three of which have never been
translated into English, present a characteristic sampling of comic form as it
was interpreted by some of the most important Latin humanists of the
Quattrocento. Pier Paolo Vergerio's Paulus (ca. 1390), Philodoxeos fabula (1424)
by Leon Battista Alberti, Philogenia et Epiphebus (ca. 1440) by Ugolino Pisani,
Chrysis (1444) by Aeneas Silvius Piccolomini (later Pope Pius II), and Tommaso
Medio's Epirota (1483) span nearly the entire period and are a valuable gauge of
its changing literary tastes, tastes nourished by the ancient comic drama of
Plautus and Terence. While the earliest of the humanist comedies seem almost
medieval in their moralism, the didacticism of the pulpit is cleverly seasoned
with the unabashed realism of the brothel to produce a mixture that looks
forward to the more modern, sophisticated comedies written in the vernacular
during the Cinquecento., Plays / Drama ; Ancient, Classical & Medieval ;

On Painting (Classics S.) - Alberti, Leon Battista:
ISBN: 0140433317 Published: Feb 1991 Format: Paperback Pages: 112 Artist,
architect, poet and philosopher, Leon Battista Alberti revolutionized the
history of art with his theories of perspective in On Painting (1435). Inspired
by the order and beauty inherent in nature, his groundbreaking work sets out the
principles of distance, dimension and proportion; instructs the painter on how
to use the rules of composition, representation, light and colour to create work
that is graceful and pleasing to the eye; and stipulates the moral and artistic
pre-requisites of the successful painter. On Painting had an immediate and
profound influence on Italian Renaissance artists including Ghiberti, Fra
Angelico and Veneziano and on later figures such as Leonardo da Vinci, and
remains a compelling theory of art. Brief Description: Alberti`s "Della Pittura"
was the first modern analytical study of painting. A systematic description of
the one-point perspective construction, it was designed to persuade both patron
and painter in the Renaissance to discard the old tastes in painting for the
new.

Sebastiano Serlio on Architecture, Volume One, Books I-V of 'Tutte L'Opere
D'Architecttura Et Prospe:
Few Renaissance theorists have influenced the development of western
architecture as much as Sebastiano Serlio (1475-1554). The collection of books
which represents his lifetime's work was to become invaluable to the majority of
northern European architects who, never having seen Rome, none the less
marvelled at Italian antiquities. Hence when Christopher Wren designed St.
Paul's cathedral, and when John Wood designed the streets of Bath, both
architects had Serlio's books to hand. On his death Serlio had published the
first five volumes of the planned seven-book treatise, and had witnessed their
enormous popularity, especially amongst the many patrons and architects eager to
emulate the splendours of antiquity and of Italian courts which sought her
renaissance. Serlio's treatise begins with the rules of geometry and
perspective, described in books one and two respectively, knowledge of which
formed the traditional preserve of the painter. Serlio's beautiful woodcut
illustrations in book three record the Golden Age of the Roman Empire, her
Baths, Temples, Palaces and Arches, whilst his text in book four outlines the
rules for designing modern elements ranging from fireplaces to facades based on
these monuments. To the Tuscan, Doric, Ionic and Corinthian columns which had
been discussed by the Roman author Vitruvius and the great quattrocento
philosopher-architect Leon Battista Alberti, Serlio added the Composite and
thereby established a canon of five Orders which held authority for over a
century. The fifth book illustrates the use of these Orders in twelve temple
designs of his own invention. This translation of Serlio's first five books by
Vaughan Hart and Peter Hicks replaces theonly other English version, that
produced in 1611 by Robert Peake, whose source was not the original Italian but
a corrupt Dutch translation. As such this is the first English translation of
Serlio's work to be based on his own editions and the first collection in any
language of all five books taken from Serlio's corrected originals. It
represents a major step in the recognition of Sebastiano Serlio as the most
important architectural writer of the sixteenth century.

Interpreting the Renaissance: Princes, Cities, Architects (Harvard University
Graduate School of Design S.) (Hardback) - Tafuri, Manfredo:
ISBN: 0300111584 Published: Jun 2006 Format: Hardback Pages: 520 Manfredo Tafuri
(1935 - 1994) is acknowledged as one of Italy's most influential architectural
historians. In his final work, "Interpreting the Renaissance", published here in
English for the first time (the Italian edition, "Ricerca del Rinascimento",
appeared in 1992), Tafuri analyses Renaissance architecture from a variety of
perspectives, exploring questions that occupied him for over thirty years. What
theoretical terms were used to describe the humanist analogy between
architecture and language? Is it possible to identify the political motivations
behind the period's new urban strategies? And how does humanism embody both an
attachment to tradition and an urge to experiment? Tafuri studies the theory and
practice of Renaissance architecture, offering new and compelling readings of
its various social, intellectual and cultural contexts, while providing a broad
understanding of uses of representation that shaped the entire era. He
synthesises the history of architectural ideas and projects through discussions
of the great centres of architectural innovation in Italy (Florence, Rome and
Venice), key patrons from the middle of the fifteenth century (Pope Nicholas V)
to the early sixteenth century (Pope Leo X), and crucial figures such as Leon
Battista Alberti, Filippo Brunelleschi, Lorenzo de' Medici, Raphael, Baldassare
Castiglione and Giulio Romano. A magnum opus by one of Europe's finest scholars,
"Interpreting the Renaissance" is an essential book for anyone interested in the
architecture and culture of fifteenth- and sixteenth-century Italy. Brief
Description: Analyses Renaissance architecture from a variety of perspectives,
exploring questions such as what theoretical terms were used to describe the
humanist analogy between architecture and language. This work offers readings of
social, intellectual and cultural contexts, while providing a understanding of
uses of representation that shaped the era.
