Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents the oldest known treatise on the art of painting, penned in 1437 by Cennino Cennini. At the time, the art of painting, particularly in Italy, was experiencing a dramatic revival from the 'dark' ages, hence his detailed insights into the practicalities of painting are especially valuable. Cennini, a passionate and skilled craftsman, wrote out of a desire to preserve centuries of tradition for future generations, not just because the arts were central to the blossoming Italian Renaissance but because they also had profound cultural and religious significance. Originally working as an assistant to Agnolo Gaddi, Cennini shares many precious technical details about the methods and materials used by the great masters of the time, including Giotto and Gaddi, in exhaustive detail. His comprehensive guide covers all aspects of the painter's craft, including the preparation of canvases and paints, the application of colors, the construction of frames, and techniques for gilding and finishing. Cennini also includes sections on artistic anatomy, perspective, and the symbolism of colors. Cennini's treatise is not only an invaluable resource for art historians and restorers but is also full of insights into the techniques and aesthetics of early Renaissance painting. Most importantly, it shows how painting had escaped its medieval limitations to become a powerful and versatile medium of humanistic expression. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9780259162933_0
