Item description from seller

pp. 323-336, 14 fig. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - With dedication by the author. - Text block lying in folding cardboard, cardboard rubbed, author's name handwritten on cover, otherwise very good and clean. - From the text: In describing the temple frescoes in the fabulous Arcadia, Jacopo Sannazaro mentions one on the subject of the Judgment of Paris. His description of this fresco is worth quoting in full: «But what was no less ingenious to the judgment than pleasurable to the eye was the circumspection of the prudent painter who, having made Juno and Minerva of such exceeding beauty that it would have been impossible to surpass them, and mistrusting his ability to make Venus as beautiful as necessity required, had painted her with her back turned, thus with shrewdness excusing his insufficiency» (Arcadia, III). In this picturing of Venus from the back, Sannazaro saw the trick of a skillful artist who suggests still greater perfection than that he had already portrayed by turning the figure away from the spectator, thus appealing to the spectators imagination to supplement what is depicted by the painter.
