Description

It begins with precise instructions on drawing the human body and then moves on the techniques of rendering motion. Other topics covered are perspective, composition, the expression of various emotions, creating effects of light and shadows, and colour. With 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.
