Download or read book On Painting written by Leon Alberti and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2005-03-31 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book Plautilla Nelli 1524 1588 written by Jonathan K. Nelson and published by Syracuse University Press. This book was released on 2008 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A little-known painter in sixteenth-century Florence, Plautilla Nelli is one of the first known female Renaissance artists. The Lamentation, Last Supper, and Pentecost make her one of the first European women we can identify with large-scale religious works. Most remarkably, perhaps, this Dominican nun became the primary "image maker" of the Order of Preachers in Florence, a role previously played by Fra Bartolommeo. Through her art, she "preached" primarily, but not exclusively, to the nuns in her convent of Santa Caterina da Siena. Nelli also conveyed her artistic and moral message to all those who could see her works, many of which were praised by two contemporaries, Giorgio Vasari and Serafino Razzi." "In this collection of essays, internationally recognized scholars examine the life and works of Nelli, the prioress of a Dominican convent, with special attention to the artistic, social, and religious contexts. The book reproduces all Nelli's paintings and drawings in color, many for the first time, and significantly increases the small corpus of works attributed to her. It also presents the restoration results of her celebrated Lamentation."--BOOK JACKET.
