Leon Battista Alberti was the archetype of the Renaissance 'universal man'. Bron in Genoa in 1404, he belonged to one of the wealthy merchant-banker families of Florence, and was sent to boarding school in Padua where he received a classical Latin education. Graduating in canon law from the University of Bologna, he subsequently entered the service of the Church and became a secretary in the Papal Chancery at Rome. Taking holy orders, he returned to Florence in 1434, where his association with Donatello and Brunelleschi led to the book On Painting and his interest in the design of Churches. He died in Rome in 1472. Cecil Grayson was Serena Professor of Italian Studies and Fellow of Magdalen College from 1958 to 1987 and was honoured by numerous Italian academies. The leading authority on Alberti's written work, he was awarded the CBE in 1992. Martin Kemp has been Professor of the History of Art at the University of Oxford since 1995.

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.
artists should be intellectuals instead of craftman
评分首次提出“一点透视”“多点透视”,linear perspective和atmosphere perspective,大赞。
评分看到最后才深深体会到了作者对绘画的热爱,还有他启迪了文艺复兴无数大师的那种求知和谦逊的精神。早一点读到这本书就好了。
评分Term 1这本书读了何止一遍,istoria, composition, movement, perspective, 文艺复兴时期最重要也最平易近人的treatise.
评分旅游时在公寓看到这本书。据说是第一本关于绘画的书。万物以人为度量是文艺复兴绘画的哲学基础,绘画是事物在人的视线上横切面,拉斐尔把时间线也做了投影。投射的科学性,布局的美观,叙事和光影运用是西方绘画的基础,这个和中国绘画很不一样,哲学基础的不同是根本的区别。
