Add to basketPaperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book introduces a new, thoughtful approach to the study of perspective as it was practiced in the Renaissance period. The author provides a historical overview of perspective's development, and sets his innovative ideas against the backdrop of the philosophical and scientific shifts occurring in the 15th and 16th Centuries. The author begins with the basics, and through carefully explained drawings, diagrams, and instructions, leads readers through the practicalities of perspective. He places great emphasis on the role of visual perception and the importance of understanding the natural vantage point of the human eye, which he believes is central to the creation of realistic and engaging artworks. The author then moves beyond the practical into the philosophical and theoretical, encouraging readers to ponder on the relationship between art and mathematics. He suggests that perspective can be used to explore ideas such as infinity and the relationship between the perceiver and the perceived. This book is an invaluable resource for students of art history, architecture, and anyone with an interest in the development of perspective and the theoretical basis of visual perception. 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.

Published by Nuremberg, Dietrich Gerlass, 1571, 1571
First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Very rare first edition of this illustrated perspective compendium, in the Nuremberg tradition of Kunstbuchleinen, which included such artists and goldsmiths as Stoer, Hirschvogel and Jamnitzer. The work follows and forms the technical counterpart to Lencker's playful Perspectiva Literaria (1567), describing a drawing instrument of the author's invention (pictured in the first plate). The numerous woodcuts show working diagrams and perspective representations of stereometric bodies-mostly elaborate variations on regular and semi-regular solids-, and all matched to succinct text. "These model books, issued by professionals for fellow painters, architects, goldsmiths, carpenters, etc., were in constant use and soon worn out [which is] why very few copies have survived." - Hagelin, Art of Writing & Drawing, p. 133. The work has a brilliant mannerist title with the wooden or cardboard models of geometric solids called 'Bossen', a characteristic feature of Nuremberg perspective drawing. Lencker (d. 1585) was, after Jamnitzer, the outstanding goldsmith and perspectivist of his day in the mannerist tradition, and the present work earned him a post as perspective instructor to Christian I of Dresden. NUC records 4 copies: Michigan, Wisconsin, Newberry & Boston.

Add to basketFirst and only edition of a well illustrated manual on perspective by the Nuremberg goldsmith Hans Lencker (1523-1585), intended for craftsmen. It was the technical counterpart to Lencker's playful Perspectiva literaria (1567) and it would earn him a position at the Saxon court in Dresden."It teaches the method of perspective through illustrations of precisely constructed geometric solids and other objects in eleven full-page woodcuts, such as one demonstrating a skeletal, semiregular polyhedron and a spiral staircase (here improving smartly on the staircase attempted a generation earlier by Rodler). In his preface Lencker promises to give the reader not the useless "hull" of the doctrine of perspective but the "kernel". He notes that perspective is a noble art known to physicians and other authorities on nature and the heavens. Lencker explains his methods and instruments in a German-language text but insists on the primacy of the visual evidence" (Wood)."These model books, issued by professionals for fellow painters, architects, goldsmiths, carpenters, etc., were in constant use and soon worn out [which is] why very few copies have survived" (Hagelin).With the owner's stamp of the Dutch collector L.A. de Vries on paste-down and a library stamp on the back of the title-page ("Jamniczky Lajos Könyvtárát"). Title-page soiled and with some minor restorations, some small stains on the second leaf, some small wormholes in the last three leaves, one woodcut shaved (several others with the fore-edge margin folded), otherwise in good condition.l Berlin Kat. 4696; Honeyman 1985; Kemp, The science of art, p. 62; Vagnetti EIIb27; VD16 L1147; C.S. Wood, "The perspective treatise in ruins" in: The treatise on perspective (2003), p. 236; cf. Hagelin, Art of writing & drawing, p. 133). Decorated black and red boards (ca. 1900). With the title within a woodcut border, 10 full-page woodcuts within collation and 1 double-page woodcut within collation (the latter not included in page numbering). Pages: [6], XXIX ll.
